Kimberly C- I read online that there are government grants that people who want to adopt can apply for and get, also if they can't get one of those there are also loans some loans with no interest and some with very low interest that they could also apply for. Hope this helps, good luck to your friends and God Bless.

The God of the Bible teaches in His Word that He has a special heart for orphans and widows and those in need of help. God would be thrilled that you would seek to take a child into your home to love and care for and give one more mother the option of choosing life for her baby, a good life!

My question is more for a friend. My friend is Caucasion and her husband is Hispanic, neither one of them can conceive, but want a baby very bad, they would like very much a hispanic baby, but she has become very upset and mad because of the price of adoption, is there a cheaper way? I am not sure what kind of info she has received but they basically have decided not to try anymore because of the price tags they been given to adopt, they just can't afford it, does someone have any ideas for them?

Sounds like someone was being rude to you by making that comment. I am an adoptive mom and it is wonderful. If you feel in your heart that you want to adopt and your husband feels the same then I think you should go for it. I don't believe it will disrupt the family you already have. Adopting another child can be such a blessing to you all. If you would like to talk feel free to email me bctraveler2000@yahoo.com good luck and best wishes to you.

Hi everyone! My husband and I have been thinking about adoption for a few months now. I have loads of questions about it. We do have 2 children. My husband adopted our oldest but the younger one is from the both of us. We want another baby so bad but can not have one for medical reasons. I guess what it boils down to is this, Will this disrupt my family that I have now? I never had any doubt before but someone asked me "Why don't you just take what God gave you?" (With some other stuff added.) My thoughts are, if we are accepted to adopt a baby then that would be something God gave us, Right? I have doubt now and I don't like it. This has totally made me confused and I don’t like feeling this way. I was always so sure before, what happened? Could someone help me with this confusion?
