| Vickey | Posted: Dec 22, 2004 04:36:28 AM Hello to all of you. My husband and I recently completed 2 adoptions (both girls are older ages 8 and 6). They were from different families and backgrounds. We also have also have 4 biological children between the two of us but only one who is still at home. What an experience this has been! We love kids and find everything about them enjoyable. We would eventually like to adopt a boy. Although a healthy boy would be great we have a great deal of experience with medical issues and would also consider a child who may have some learning disabilities or physical impairments. No child is left behind in our household. We are currently have a home study through the Lund Center in Vermont. We are an active family, own our own home and love family vacations! | ||
| Vanessa | Posted: Dec 16, 2004 02:03:43 PM I was pregnant at only 15 & had to give my son up for adoption to a wonderful family. It was a closed adoption, so as of yet, I have had no contact with him. I now am 35 & have 2 beautiful daughters. I am hoping to adopt a child ASAP to complete our family. Any child could not recieve more love than in our home. I would be willing to conitnue communication with the birth mother forever, & even consider visitation if you would like. PLEASE consider me to adopt your baby; I welcome you to meet me, get to know me & my children, & make your decision based on what you feel is best for your child. I pray that you are comforted during this time & my God keep you always. With love, vanessa | ||

| Felicia | Posted: Nov 12, 2004 08:55:24 PM I'm pleased to hear so many mothers thinking of adoption and sadden at the same time for their loss. I'm an adoptive mother of there beautiful children. Only one was lucky to have a relationship with birth family. I'm praying for all of you. | ||
| Anonymous | Posted: Nov 12, 2004 07:55:14 PM If you are looking for a family offering a stay-at-home Mommy, a playful involved Daddy, and a brother and a sister, we'd love to hear from you. We are hoping to adopt the "baby" of our family. I pray that all works out for you! Hugs! Heidi | ||
| Stace | Posted: Nov 05, 2004 02:46:14 PM I'm due in March 05.I'm 18 and i already have a 10 month old. I was just about to start college when i foumd out about this one. I don't have the money, nor the time to be taking care of two babies at the same time. It's hard enough with just one. I want this child to be able to have a loving and financially stable family. I love it with all my heart, but it's the only solution. Besides, I don't think it's fair that there are so many people who want children and can't have them. Then there are people like me who take advatage of this precious gift. | ||
| kay | Posted: Oct 27, 2004 07:02:58 PM Hi Linda, I am so sorry you are dealing with so much right now! It concerns me that your husband may be abusive to you and possibly your children. Would your parents consider you and your children living with them until you can manage on your own? If that is not possible, there are women's shelters that are available for women in your situation. They could help you aquire your degree and get you set up in a job that would help you provide for your children. It sounds like you have your children's best interest at heart. I know this is such a tough time for you right now. I will pray for you and your children, for decisions that you need to make and that wonderful things will come your way. Blessings, Kay | ||
| LINDA | Posted: Oct 22, 2004 07:48:14 PM I too am pregnant and am considering adoption. I would love to keep my baby, i am married with 2 other kids.. all from the same father. i am in school right now, and i dont feel that having another baby would interfere in that, but my husband is a bit of a selfish person, and he has a poor relationship with the kids that i have now, even though he is the father. money is another issue, though im sure that it wont be that way forever. to be honest, im considering adoption to protect this child from any abuse that my husband might offer up. when i get my degree, i could take care of 2 kids, but im not so sure about 3. How do you ever decide what to do? and how to pick a family( lets face it, child molesters dont wear a sign) how can i be sure that who i am giving my baby to wont be worse than where im at? please give some advice? linda | ||
| Diane | Posted: Oct 19, 2004 02:39:46 PM Hi Angela. Placing your child up for adoption is one of the most unselfish and courageous things you and your boyfriend could do. My husband and I are hoping to add to our family through adoption, so please contact us if you are interested in seeing our home study or family profile. Good Luck and God Bless. | ||
| Jeni | Posted: Sep 28, 2004 06:52:07 PM I can't imagine how overwhelming it must be to be in your position, having to look at so many options and trying to figure out what is right for you. There are a lot of us, aren't there? All with websites, right? Becoming a real family would be the greatest Christmas present I could imagine! (I was due to be born on Christmas day, by the way, but held out for an extra two weeks and was born in January) Thinking of you and your baby, Jeni | ||
| SF | Posted: Sep 28, 2004 02:41:17 PM I can't imagine what you must be feeling or going through right now. You are making one of the most selfless decisions anyone could ever make. Anyone, my husband and myself included, that is awaiting a child for adoption would be truly blessed to receive such a miracle around Christmas. May God be with you and help you to find the right family. | ||
| Angela | Posted: Sep 26, 2004 11:32:14 PM I know there are a million and one families out there who want to adopt a child. Currently i am due to have a baby boy the day after Christmas and want a family to be able to have the best Christmas present ever. The father and i are currently together and love each other very much, yet adoption is the better road to take due to financial restraints. | ||
