I'm so sorry to hear about your condition. I pray that everything goes well for both of you and with the adoption process. Please keep us posted and I'll be praying for all of you.

...and I want to celebrate and commend my sister and every other person who has given a child/children a loving home to grow up in.

Hi FV friends - thought I'd ask a favor of you. I've been on an adoption matching list for 17 mos with an agency (I'm single and being gender specific which can take longer), so I thought I'd do what I can to help find a birth mom. If you are inclined, would you please share my new website with...

We are currently looking very seriously into adoption. My DH has a child from a prior marriage who we spend 1k mthly on and get summers. I have a daughter who is 4. I have had many many miscarriages as well as a little boy pass away due to his disabilities because of my...

We are in full swing adoption mode and I wondered if anyone out there has any suggestions for good adoption books. We are doing domestic infant adoption. I want to be as well versed on all this as I can!!

My husband and I have decided to go the adoption route to grow our family. We are doing domestic infant adoption and know it could be in the $20,000-$25,000 range. We have $15,000 in a savings account. I just wondered how others going through or that have already gone through Adoption handled...

I hope its ok to post this here and maybe it will be moved to the adoption forum....But DS and wife are jumping into adoption...they just found out last month they can't have children....they live in Ca. in an apartment with his dad. The adoption place adoptionnetwork.com said it would run...

My wife and I have fertility issues and just finished trying to do in-vitro (unsuccessfully). Because I just started at a company that offers an HSA, I can put enough in it to get back about 5000.00 of the medical expenses (pretax). Now, with that in mind, we really want to start a family...

Praise God...yea, it is over. The adoption is final. I want to first thank all of you for your prayers and the support. I wouldn't have made it without it.. just wanted to share... next is hips....keep praying..lol

We went today to the dog pound and found a puppy to adopt. He had an expiration date that was almost up. This will be our first adoption so I hope things go well. I will pick him up tomorrow and bring him home. We found him in Louisville's dog shelter. I saw him on www.Petfinders.com. Our...

I am wondering if you can do an adoption without a lawyer. The lawyer and filing fee here in Georgia is 2000. That at the moment is alot for us. It would be a relative adoption (brother in law) child to me and my husband (brother) I the birth parents (brother in law) and girlfriend are willing...

DH and I are considering adoption. We currently have 2 children (born to us) and we are thinking of adopting 2 more. Just wondering if I could hear the stories of those of you who have adopted, tried to adopt, thought of adopting. Your thoughts and views of how things worked out. Also, if...

I had yet another talk with DD this morning on the way to school about how she can be whatever she wants to be when she 'grows-up'. DD is 8 and fascinated with the buzz surrounding the election and has told me on several occasions that she wants to be President someday. That's when my...

Just found this by accident. So glad we have an adoption area now :king: We adopted from China 3 years ago. :cutie:

I've noticed a few references around here to international adoptions and I just wanted to create a space where we could touch base. I know there is an adoption forum - but it seems fairly inactive. We are currently waiting on an adoption from China. Our LID is 4/16/07 - we have a...

Hi I think I posted this in the wrong place, so I am reposting here. (sorry) We have been wanting to adopt for about 3 years..The agency we talked to said it would cost 20-40 THOUSAND for overseas adoption.... this was just out of our reach. Are there less expensive venues out there for...

has anyone here adopted from russian or can put me in contact with someone who has...thanks

Can anyone tell me what all you have to do to get in the adoption process? We have thought of surrogacy or adoption but I don't know where to start with either one. Thanks

For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to adopt a couple kids. Even after I had my own kids, adoption never left my mind. How about you?

Thanks Sara!! Anything pertaining to adoption can be posted here.
