I was doing some looking through adoptuskids.com which is children in foster care and like my state dept of children and family and surrounding states they did not have any children under the age of 3 without severe dissabilities. It breaks my heart so much. I fell in love with a little 2 yr old boy from South Carolina who just tugged my heart strings but he has Downs and I don't know if DH and I are able or ready to take on a responsibility of that magnitude with adopting a child with severe dissabilities at our age. He is a legally free adoption as well so that makes me even sadder like nobody wants him... :no
We could not even get the ball rolling on any form of adoption until we move into our house since we live in such small cramped quaters at the moment. They are saying end of May now for moving us in so we will see... we have been waiting for the houses in the coommunity to be built for months now.
We are hoping to still conceive as naturally as we can one day but we really do not know if that will ever happen so we have been weighing options. We are looking to adopt a newborn through another site we have requested info on, but we have to start saving money since those private adoptions cost more. We would have to pay around $7,000 (after the home study/background checks etc went through)to be put on an active waiting list where a birth mom would hopefully choose us one day... I just want a newborn baby so bad, but its harder to adopt and easier to get scammed with Mom's changing their minds and all which could be harder in the end. :sigh
Thanks for letting me get out some thoughts on paper er computer :)

The little girl we are currently trying to adopt doesn't have medical needs but she does have sever emotional problems as she's been moved around and such.... she's not a basic child and that makes her special needs. However, I just can't imagine anyone not wanting her.... so I totally know how you feel.

I'm desperate for this little girl, I want to give her that home she needs so badly that I can overlook some of the less desirable traits....

Private adoption was never an option for us but that's only because we're able to conceive if we wanted to.... I hope you get your baby!

I couldn't get pregnant for a while so we were going to adopt a boy that was originally from Africa but someone adopted him, but they couldn't take care of him so we were going to but then i got pregnant and someone else got to him before we could, because we still wanted him. But it was one of my close friends so we see him alot and know he is in a good home. He couldn't afford an aids test so they thought he might but they did the test and he didn't.. which was great! But i think adopting isa great idea!
