Told my son abouot adoption...

in Adoption

I have an almost 14 year old (will be 14 on nov 1st)

We had a great family conversation over dinner. We told him that we would be building our family through adoption. He had lots and lots of questions, but overall I think he is excited about it.

I tried to answers his questions as best as possible - and I was impressed about what kinds of questions.

He did not ask things like boy or girl, how old, etc. He asked very grown up questions: Like: will they have visits with their parents? - How long is the process? - Can I go to the classes also, it will help me better understand these children. - What kinds of children are in the "system"?

And my favorite - "What can I do to help"

He is really turning into a fine young man.

    oh my gosh girl you have yourself a keeper there!!!! sniffle sniflfle.
    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!
