hey ladies- new here

Hi ladies,

I'm new here, and while I am taking the next steps very slow, my husband and I have agreed to adoption to help build our family.  I have no idea about adoption, aside from what I read in the FAQ and some basic internet searching.   Frankly, I am really hoping to adopt internationally (my eyes are on Colombia and Eastern Europe because of our own heritage) and really want a girl:)   I'm also in law school and planning to take family law next semester, so hopefully I'll be able to maneuver through the system a little easier than most. 

Sounds like we won't be able to avoid the expensive price, but I figure it's about the same price as having IVF, which knowing my luck would end up not working anyway.  

 Anyway, I look forward to reading your posts.

Welcome!

I don't think my family law class even touched on adoption.  If it did, it just brushed on the topic.  I've learned that adoption law is a very specialized area, and even most family law attorneys know little about it.  It's a practice area that I'm hoping to get into.  When do you graduate?

In 2 years.  They probably do just brush on it because it's just a class needed to take the bar; however, it would be much easier for me after taking that class to do my own research on that topic.
