Thoughts? Comments? Concerns?

    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

  • If your child doesn't look like you, your family story is "out in the public" for people to see/ask about.   It's not a bad thing but there are times you may not want to talk about how your child entered your family.

  • After reading through all the responses, I think the main issue of contention lies in the fact that ladyjenna13 seems to be making a distinction here between the abandonment/making of an adoption plan and the adoption of a child.  The way he's des
