in Adoption
I've been lurking on this board for sometime now, so I thought I would intro. DH and I had a m/c in August and are now dealing with IF, but we are also very interested in adoption. I have wanted to adopt since I was young, and it took DH some time, but, at this point, he is ready. For now, we are working with DFACS in the foster/adopt program. Our official orientation is June 19, so we're only at the beginning of what I know can be a long, hard process. I am sure I will have questions later! For now, I just wanted to say hello and let you ladies know how helpful your board has been as we begin this process.

Congrats on making this decision and I wish you luck in the process. I've been thinking more and more about adoption and have been researching it but DH still isn't on board. Nice to see a familiar face over here though, I lurk all the time.

Sorry for your loss... but welcome
Adoption is a crazy journey all on it's own... but it's wonderful and special and perfect for some families.
As for the lurker whose husband isn't on board yet... it's okay
Husbands often take longer to come around. Slow and regular postive stories help 
Thanks for the encouragement about my husband. I'll keep working on him.

Thank you for the welcome! We hope this path works out for us, but we recognize (though, of course, we can't truly understand yet) that it won't necessarily be an easy one.
I will check it out. Thank you!
Welcome -
DH and I have been dealing with IF for 4+ years and have been approved for foster/adopt for almost a year. We did a lot of research before choosing this route, the agency, etc. We've been blessed with multiple opportunites to provide respite for several children with a variety of ages, sibling situations, needs, etc. This gave us time to figure out what we're capable of and eventually expanded our intial criteria. In the next few weeks a bro and sis will move in with us with our intent to adopt. They've been with their foster parents for 2+ years and we look forward to building our forever family.
Good Luck!
Keep reading a variety of great literature and texts on the topic. Network with other foster-adopt couples and enjoy this journey.
Thank you for the welcome! What a great story you have. congratulations on your upcoming adoption, and I look forward to getting to know you!
Thanks, and congrats on finishing your classes! You finish on the same day that I start.
