Child Adoption

iam 20and have a 17mth old due to a ceaserean i can no longer have the big family ive always wished for....i would love to adop a child up to five years of age.

I really want kids and I dont no why the people that cant have babys have to go thru a lot of troble I a good person and I will go thru anything to have a couple of kids

My husband and I would love to adopt a newborn baby that simply needs to be loved. We have been married for 9 years, and only recently confirmed we were unable to concieve naturally with a 2% chance. We have 5 loving niece and nephews that would love for their 'Wowo & Bud" to give them a baby cousin. If you can help in anyway, please contact us. kelleybridgeman@yahoo.com

Wake up & smell the enfamil, folks... the Internet is NOT the place to launch a safe and ethical adoption. Cameroon adoption appeals are always a scam. African-American children in the US deserve loving homes just as much as Haitian kids. $40k+ adoptions are not adoptions, they're babyselling schemes and those who buy can get in as much trouble as those who sell. Do your homework, people! The naivety of the folks posting these comments and sappy "wannababy appeals" are a clear indication why so many adoption scams succeed in this country. (Scary, indeed!)

Me and my husband would like to adopt we have no ideal how to get started, we will love to adopt a little girl from Haiti or a little girl in American. Please help us you can contact us at Sandra.law@att.net

PCOS is a deterent to concieving, but not the end. My daughter and her good friend are both afflicted, but, through fertility treatments and lots of prayer, both gave birth last year to healthy babies. PCOS is not curable, but not the only reason one does not conceive. You must find a good infertility clinic that will try several things before giving up. Blessings to you.

I must agree with the anonymous person from 11/18. Be grateful you have children. Thank the Lord everyday you have children. There are many of us out here that don't have any. We are trying desparately to achieve what you already have. The expenses of adopting are overwhelming as some of you know. That does not mean we won't love a child just as much as you do. Please help those that don't have the luxury of paying thousands of dollars for their dreams.

I am a 22yr old single woman. young i know i'm the one who's usually watching everyone i n my family children which is ok with me i love children.I've just recently found out i can not have chidren. I know it take time and lots of money which i don't have. which is why im starting early. I would love nothing more than to have a chid of my own. If you have any advice i'm all ears.

I recently adopted my daughter from S Korea. She is now 2 years old. My husband and I also have 2 biological sons. It's a lot of hard work, takes time, patience and money. But it can be done! There are adoptions loans and grants out there. There is also a tax credit for adoption in the state of Tn. Also a lot of employers offer adoption benefits that many people don't know about until they start thoroughly reading their employee handbook. It took us almost a year to get her home, we traveled and brought her back with us. But in the end, I could not imagine our lives without her now! Good luck to all of you beginning this process.

We want to give a loving and caring home to a child.we love children very much they are the greatest but cant have any of our own and we know that we can provide all the love and support need to care for a child we can take care of everything for the child and help with medical expenses. I would love to talk to you about adoption your child our email is acskorpion616@gmail.com Please we are really interested in having a child that we can raise as our own with lots of love and attention to give. Thanks

i am a 17 year old still in high school i will be getting married to my sons dad in a couple of months and in finishing high school earlier and i got accepted to law school... so even though im 17 and young iam getting my self together

need to have information for the grandparents that wish to addopt.

me and my husband want a baby, and are having trouble getting pregnant! So we would like to looking into adopting a baby boy. I have 2 girls from a previous marriage. What can we do?

why do movie stars go to different countries to get babies? At a tea yesterday the ladies said its to expensive to adopt here. is this true? and they said it cost at least $40,000. to do it and in other countries it is free or inexpensive. I cannot believe this. Is it true? thank you for answers to these questions... We need to take care of our babies and children in this country! Sincerely Rosemary Dixon of Burbank

My husband & I would love to adopt. We have a 31, 28, 27 & 18 year old (all out of the house now). We adopted the 18 year old when he was 9. We were going to use a surrogate a couple of years ago, but hooked up with the wrong agency and ended up getting taken for $35,000.00. We can't do that again. We'd love to be parents again.

I just want to write a little note of hope to anyone out there who needs some. My husbanh and I thought that when we turned 31, and we still had not become parents, after trying everything that it just was not Gods will for us. Then we turned it all over to him. That was December of 2001. We are now the parents of 3 boy's, and 3 girl's, ages (get ready...) 11,10,9,7,6 and 2. The 2 year old was the only one that we got from birth, but we love each and everyone of them. We actualy went through the adoption process 4 diffrent times, cause they were from 4 diffrent families, from all all over the state. Pray, keep you'r faith and hope it is a long, long process that has some pretty special rewards at the end. GOD BLESS, W.LONGORIA

Hi this is Charleen Winn, My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for the last 6 years and its been real hard because I sit back and look at all these people with babies and they just don't know how blessed they are and I up praying morning, noon, and night for a baby. One day after praying the Lord came to me and he said there are so many children out there praying for parents just like you. So here I go no matter what way I become a parent, I'm going to be blessed.

Every child needs to feel loved and wanted and given the chance to know whats its like to be a child to play and know that they have someone that will love them for the rest of their lives.

My husband and I have been married for almost five years. We are looking to adopt a child of bi-racial or caucasian decent. We have completed the homestudy process through a local Catholic Social Services. We are excited about becoming parents.

how do i go about getting the application?

I had my daughter when I was 18. I was leeps and bounds beyond imature. Itook a lot of support to get us where we are now. Supprisingly it was the babysitter who helped me grow into a good mother. After I became pregnant with twins 4 years later she also decided to adopt them. Yes I was young but the love of a mother endures all things. I Thank God for her.

A friend of mine had a baby. She want's me to adopt it. But she dosnt know who the father is. Can i adopt it without the father? Also i was wondering how much it would cost. To have the paper work done if i was able to adopt her? Thank you!

As a partent of seven adopted children and three bio children I can tell you, you love them all the same. My children range from 41 - 14 and Yes I would do it all over. It has been a journey that only love can take you on because the road some times is rough and long. God has really blessed us and I hope you too will be as blessed as we have been. We took teenagers they need love too!

Hi my name is Patricia i am 20 years old i am the oldest of 6 kids My husband dominique and i want to adopt a little miracle because we have tried and tried to have a child of our own and have found out that I have cervical cancer and they want to do surgery and take my female organs so give us a miracle call anytime 1-318-247-1501 or cell 1-318-436-1099

me and my husband are looking to adopt a infant,and would really like to get more information on the adoption.i do not work and my husband is disabled so do not work either.i had surgery that prevented me from giving my husband a child.i have two girls by previous relationships their ages are 8and14.he has a son that is 15.so our kids are pretty well set but my husband and i would like to raise a baby together from an infant.

My husband and I are infertile and we decided to go through the foster care system to adopt. Although highly unusual, we were able to adopt a healthy baby boy. His mother had lost five other children due to neglect and drug use, so we were able to get him at 3 days old and picked him up from the hospital. This sort of adoption IS a possibility, however, I do not recommend it for those of you who are desperate to be parents. We were not even sure we would be able to adopt him until 3 months into it, and by then, we had bonded with him and we thought of him as OUR baby. He was finally adopted at 9 months old, and now he is 2 years old. The waiting period was terrible for me, and we would like to adopt again, but I am not sure I can go through the uncertainty of foster care. We are now considering adoption through Catholic Charities, but it is not just the $250 court charges like with our son. It is well below $10,000, but still pricey for us. Just know it IS possible to adopt without having to go overseas and spending 10s of thousands of dollars. Good luck to all of you out there who want to be parents. Our little boy is simply wonderful and we are so blessed to be his parents! :)

Dear Anonymous, I have four bio kids and I am currently looking into adoption. You asked why and I think it's a very fair question. I was never supposed to get pregnant. We began discussing adoption early into our marriage. I had complications that made it very difficult to conceive my first child. We didn't think it would ever happen. I believe that God healed me and I was able to give birth to four children. However, there is a child that isn't here. It's that child that I dreamed about adopting during my infertility. Just because I have children already doesn't mean I am less capable of loving more. If anything, I have learned just how big my heart is. You were not like some outsider brougt into an already existing family. You were wanted and chosen and everyone in the family slid over to make room for you. Please don't undermine your value and your worth in that family. You are a chosen member.

For the mother of four- My husband and I have been considering adoption, and just recently learned from my sister that if you become a foster parent to a child that is eligible for adoption, the state would cover the cost of the adoption. Maybe that would be something you could look into. God bless your family!

To those who are worried about their adoptive child not seeing them as the parent and always looking at their biological parent as their true mom and dad that’s a very big understatement. I was adopted at the age of 5 unfortunately my adoptive parents who I looked at as my real family was killed in an accident when I turned 12. I understood everything that was going on at the time of my adoption, my family explained everything as I got older and I even spoke to my biological mother. But I want to say this and make it clear. To be a true mother or father doesn’t mean that you have to have been the one to help conceive or give birth to the child. It simply means you are the provider and the person who gives nourishment, care and unconditional love even if that means tough love. As long as you have trust in them and make that child comfortable in trusting you then that’s all you need in order for them to look at you as their true parents. As for the person who stated all kids 17 and younger need to give their child up, you need to just keep those kinds of comments to yourself. When I lost my parents at 12 years old I became very depressed and I was missing that love from my parents, so I replaced it with what I thought was love with a boy. Of course I became pregnant at the age of 13 and a lot of people said I should give my baby up because I had no business trying to raise a baby when I myself was still I child and that it would be impossible. Well I’m here to say I got a job soon as I found out I was pregnant and I also started to baby sit when I wasn’t working. I saved all my money buying everything I was going to need for the baby from the very first month I was pregnant I was able to buy all my baby’s clothes up to the age 4years old within those 9 months being pregnant. And I also had all other baby things stocked up only thing I had to buy after having my baby was formula and I found a school where I could continue my education while having my baby at school with me. Needless to say I graduated from school and went on to college, I’m now in child care development classes. I have succeeded way beyond most 18, 19 or 20 year olds who get pregnant. So before deciding for a child what’s best let them decide if it’s really worth trying.

Hello, My name is Alan and I have a few questions. My birthday is december 2 1972 and I was adopted 11 days later by Alan and Margaret Weston. My daughter may have autism and I am trying to get some family history for medical purposes and possibly meet my birth parents if they so desire. I don’t know if you are allowed to tell me this information or not , but if you could help me I would greatly appreciate it. Please e mail me at HammeAtx@aol.com

My husband and I are looking to adopt. We would like to work it out with the birth mother and an attorney. Where do we find a birth-mother? Susan

We are the proud parents of birth, adopted & foster children. We did not adopt babies, but a sibling group that includes teens, and a single adoption. Although different from birthing, adoption is STILL LOVING. We are indeed, very blessed and will adopt again.

How sad and silly all the comments I read. Is just one "blessing after another blessing". Courage and sacrifice and more blessings.Someone also says that the birth parents will always be the 'real parents'.I think that people want a child so badly that they are losing their minds when thy express themselves. If the birth parents will always be the 'real parents' are we going to be the unreal ones? Another ones says "teens SHOULD give up their children, here is not a matter or SHOULD or SHOULD not, is a matter of what the teen decides and his her parents decided in the best interest of the child.

Dear Birth Parents, Making an adoption plan is a loving choice. It is a gift both to the child and to the adoptive parents. Thank you for giving life to your baby and for giving joy to another family. Your courage and sacrifice will be remembered. Hopeful Adoptive Mom to be
