Hey Deborah, My husaband and I are 2 years in fertility treatments. We lately decided we want to adopt. We both have jobs and savings, and are ready to be the best parents to someone. Have a great weekend, and good luck with whatever you chose to do ... Shira

hi my name is Carolyn, i am 15 years old and i was adopted by my aunt and uncle. it is so hard for me because i call my aunt and unlce mom and dad. before i found out that my aunt wasnt my mom and the woman i called aunty was my mom, i was so cunfused. im starting to understand now but when i was younger it was very difficult for me. i think that if you want to adopt the twins then you should, but i would explain to them very early on that mom is mom and aunt is aunt. dont mean to saound mean but i think it would be easier for them... sorry to take up your time.

Dear sandy, hi my name is Deborah. I am 17 years old and i am now 4 months pregnant. i dont really know what i am going to do to support my child because i dont have a job, i dont have a car and i am still in high school. im sorry to hear about your cousins babies being taken away. i know it must be hard for her. I think that you and your fiance should adopt them if the state wont give them back to her. If you did that then she would be able to see her children and maybe she will be happier if they are with you, then with the state. i wish the best to you and your finace and i hope everything goes well for you and your family. Sincerley, Deborah

My fiance and I are getting married in October and we just found out that my cousin (through marriage) just had twins. The state took custody of them at birth and now my fiance and I are wanting to adopt them. We've tried to have kids of our own but have been unable too. I was wondering if it would be any easier for us to adopt the babies since I am family. I was also wondering just what things the state would be looking at for us to even be considered. I want more than anything to have children. Any advice that anyone would have we be greatly appreciated. -Sandy
