Topic : I Want to Adopt

We are a happy, loving couple hoping to adopt a precious newborn. We have tried through the help of our fertility specialist to become pregnant. We have relized that it is not possible. We know that that being a parent is about raising a a child. We bought a beautiful home in the suburbs to raise a child.We have worked with children most of our lives. I  have been employed as a schoolteacher for the past 20 years. My husband has a career as a medical doctor. We will provide a home for a child filled with endless unconditional love. We can provide education and security. We have many nieces and nephews who love to have sleepovers here. I am 41 years old and live each day hoping and dreaming of completing our family. Please help us. We know and understand what a difficult decision it is for a birthmother to make. We have a pofile we can send. Thank you Elyse and Elliot

Dear Dr. Phil & Member's

I am 47 (ok-well this month 48) year's old.

After a long long fertility battle & draining our savings, numerous operations & many brown paper sacks later; i came home from a very disappointing Doctor appmnt. to tell my husband if he wanted natural children, he would have to get a divorce (it was so sad) we cried and then made a decision. We called alot of attorneys and once one of the prospective parents hits 40 years old, you need to seek alternative ways to adopt-We decided we would fill out foster/adopt papers and take the course, and then have my hysterectomy, we then  would give it one year (we had already worked on this exhaustedly daily for over 7 years)

One week after that deadline (and after we had called and said we could not take this any more) we got the call! at the time i was 39 and my husband 45 "it was a five day old little boy" he was beautiful (and still is) we were certified foster /adopt parents so anyone coming into our home, was 99% chance of being ours and although it took along 1 and a half years to finalize (he is now 8 going to be 9) and when he was 15 months old our  beautiful daughter came into our family (she was and still is beautiful) she is now 7 going to be 8. they are 8 1/2 months apart and they are not siblings.

God works!!!

He certainly did in our case, People-dint give up! if you do, it only hurts you, and possibly a child might stay in foster care alittle longer.

We were and still are so blessed; our family is perfect: we couldn't of did it any better if i gave birth.

They both know they are adopted, and yes-they do ask questions; alittle  bit is all they need, and they run off and play..

Our home is very busy, and we are truly thankful!

I wish all of you the same success we had-it is trying; we wanted to give up so many times; we did invitro and the hormones did swing out of control, but in the end-i look at those tiny faces and thank God for putting me threw all of it..

Hello two days prior I posted the ad that my husband and I want to adopt a newborn. We are a couple that will be together forever. We have such respect for birthparents. They are making the most unselfish decision. My husband and I would give the child endless love, security, and education. Our home is ready and waiting for a baby.  Being a schoolteacher,I have devoted my life to children. My huband is a medical doctor,who is  so anxious to bring  home a baby.

I wrote in early last evening, and prior to the adoption of our children, -and our daughter  i struggled with all of the thoughts, and mental anguish all of you are going through; it's hard going through in vitro several times, draining your bank account, having multiple operation's only to find-you can not have a child.

But you can!  when they put our son in my arm's "my search was over and i knew he was mine" bonding comes very easily and is natural. When they put our daughter in my arms i knew we were truly blessed!

I know from experience it is an up hill battle (and you fall down some times) get up and keep trying.

The only hard part for me-now, is that we kept  trying to have a baby for so long-we are older parent's and i do get exhausted, soccer, dance, school, softball it's never ending, we are self employed or i dont know how i would do it.

God bless you and your efforts in finding a family!

 

i know it gets very frustrating, i went through the foster / adopt process through our stat, and they way they did it here, is the children that came into my home were 99% going to have the parental rights be severed, it took us our son came when he was 5 days old (was in an emergency shelter care) right out of the hospital- then to us after the first dependency hearing (day 5) same with our daughter. But, it took us through all the hearings, they (bio's) would show up at severance and slow things down, but before the end of the second year our son was 16 months when it was final, and our daughter 18 months when it was final.

They started a new thing in our start where no child is left in foster care for more than 2 year's (well they try) it seems to work alot faster now-does your state do something like that?

Hang in there, we were scared so many times, but in the end we have a beautiful family. Our son is going to be 9 and our daughter is going to be 8, they are not siblings and are 8 1/2 months apart.

It will happen....

Good luck, you are not alone-it has been done.

Hang in there!

Best Wishes

Yesterday I was in a hotel. I heard  that a baby was left in a parking garage.If only the baby was placed in loving hands.  How awful that is. My husband and I can give a newborn a wonderful home.

My husband and I adopted our first child 2 1/2 years ago.  She is now 3 years old.  It was not an easy experience and we waited a long time, but it was so rewarding.  We are now wanting to adopt again and are doing foster to adopt through DCFS in our state.

Good luck to all of those that are waiting.  The wait is worth it!! :)
