I have no advice on how adoption works but know how beautiful a thing it is. My Dad was adopted - along with his 2 biological sisters - and they had a wonderful life. So I just wanted to give you a hug for thinking of this and hope you know how wonderful you are!!! Good luck! (on a side note can I add for you to consider getting as much info as you can on the biological parents to give to the child when they are older. MEDICAL INFO IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!)

i have 4 of my own all ready(only 3 live with me one lives with my mom because i had him when i was 17 long long story) but i'd like to adopt one or two, i could have my own i just dont want any more of my own, i just want to give someone a home that doesnt have one, i could make them my own! i have lots of love to give, my kids are happy. i just dont know if they want you to make alot of money i dont make much but i mean if i got pregnant i could have one so i really dont see why that should matter.

Hi I am trying to adopt my sisters foster baby. We have had the baby in our lives since he was born.He has brought so much joy into our lives that I do not care what we have to go thur I will do whatever to adot him.He is a light that seems to get brighter and brighter.He just turned 15 months I just can not see my life without him in it.I feel that he is a gift from God.So I guess what I am trying to say is that yes adoption is a roller coster ride;but I would much rather have road the ride than to have never atempted it at all.

Thanks happymommy

I am adopted, as is my sister. I can tell you that from my perspective, that it was a good thing. I am my mother's daughter. As she has told me, God did not plant me in her womb, but in her heart.

I also am adopted and think it is a wonderful thing you are doing!

Adoption !!!
i was adopted and i had the best parents and the greatest childhood!!!

I have not adopted, but I have a close friend who adopted a crack baby-she had him since he was hours old-now he is 2. She loves that baby just as if she gave birth to him; no difference at all. My cousin also adopted, she was madly in love with her child. My good friend was adopted along with her 3 brothers; she said she would never look for her "natural" mother, that it would break the mother who raised her heart. What is this thing about "natural" mother anyway?

**marquez8370** · 07-13-2003, 09:03 AM

my parents told me who my natural mom and father were and i did meet both of them and again i will say adoption is great !!!

It seems to me that the person(s) who raised you are your parents, not just someone who gave birth to you & a sperm doaner. After all, a parent stays up with you, reads you bed time stories, cleans up poop,pee,vomit, feeds you, clothes you, plus the million other things that a parent does day in & day out.
