Adoption

hello

hello...as some of you may remeber I have an adopted son who is soon to be 19.. we took him at the age of 14 because his mother was not a good role model for him. the catchy part of all this is at the time of his adoption I was 21..

my husband and I have dealt with IF for years and have gone back and forth about doing IVF #4 but am not 100% set on this idea..

At this point in time we just want to be parents again we dont care so much of being pregnant. We know that foster care is not the right option for us due to the fact of knowing I am not strong enough to love a child just to have to give them back and I would want to adopt every child that came through our doors.

For this reason we feel that out right adoption would be the best route for us. We are open to anywhere between ages of 0-3 including siblings pairs. 

We thought of DIA but think that may be out of reach for us financially and physically being that I am 27 and he is 30 we figured no BM would want AP that young...

anyone have any advice as to what we shall do first... our pride classes our done and don't want to do our home study done till we know which path we are going since certain routes of adoption require their own personal HS.

  • Welcome! I just wanted to say I wouldn't worry to much about age. DS's BM chose us and I was only 27 at the time and look about 16. She said she liked that we were younger. Good luck!

  • Hi! I have a 19 yr old son too and am 30 :love it.

    I also wouldn't worry about age, 27 is perfectly old enough!
    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!
