My fiance and i are considering adoption. Does anyone know a good agency to go thru? Or know anyone pregnant and looking for a family to adopt their baby?
Hi! You're doing a great thing!
I adopted almost 20 years ago and things have changed, I'm sure.
It was the most wonderful feeling when i first help that little one in my arms!
You should see the smile on my face in the pic!
Hang in there. It's well worth it!
All the best to you.
I have adopted three children two through the state and one privately. I struggled with infertilty for 8 years before we adopted. I would be happy to answer any question you might have. Best of luck to you and hubby
i was adopted a few days after i was born and i have tryed to find info on bio familey but its was sealed back than so no luck
Hi, Lady.
i’m sorry your file was sealed.
I adopted my son about 25 years ago. He was just 3 days old when we got him! He tired a couple years ago, but didn’t find his birthmom.
I’m sure they think of you often, especially on your birthday and holidays.
Best regards!
well i'd like to do a private adoption. but i dont know where to find maybe young teens who are giving their child up for adoption or anyone for that matter.
i guess just pick a city and start from there and get a good attorney that will help u with this
Hi, good luck to all. That sounded like a good idea.
OT - Preparing for a big storm/hurricane
I was so busy adopting, that I didn't listen to the weather/news. I was new to the gulf coast then.
In case this might help someone:
So good to have a plan and a to go bag ready and handy.
They say it's good to have enough supplies to last for 3 days like you're camping in your own home.
With flooding here, the gas pumps don't work and neither do the ATM's.
I fill every pitcher and bucket with water. Even the bathtub (sealed with petroleumjelly - can use that water for the toilet, when there's no running water.
Some get their favorite snacks - not the time to always count calories - comfort food for a day for 2 is ok in this case.
Bread, too! Peanut butter, crackers, bottled tea, etc.
Manual can opener. Cereals. Granola bars, shelf stable foods.
Keep important papers in sealed ziplock bags. Bring ID, insurance papers, credit cards, cash.
I even buy tuna, shelf stable pudding cups, sodas (in case the water is not drinkable for a few days), hubby will eat Spam, kids like pretzels & chex mix, bottle of juice, canned fruit & veggies.
I don't hoard bottle water, but do get enough for 3 days.
Pets - with canned food, that way they are getting some fluids, in case they don't drink when evacuated.
Bring in potted plants and patio furniture. Could become projectiles.
Please take care. Better to be safe than sorry. Sooo hard to get supplies after the storm, when everyone needs the same thing!
I won't write OT again - just feel compelled to share this important info.
Prayers for all those on the eastern part of the U.S.
The best agancy i know to send you to is Adoption Advisors. The lady who owns the business is Jeanna Smith. She is really good at what she does.
