Adoption
Options
moving on
Hi, I am new to this board. I recently suffered a miscarriage and my husband and I have now decided that we want to adopt a child instead of trying to conceive again. We had considered adoption even before we started trying and we even went to a orientation meeting at an adoption agency as well. We are both ready to move on from the loss we experienced and begin this exciting process. We will be adopting through an agency in the Los Angeles area. If anyone has any advice/tips,etc before we get started that would be much appreciated. Thanks!
