Adoption

[xShadowMerchantx]

Just wondering if any of you have adopted children or have been a foster parent. What state do you reside in and what were some of the challenges that you had to face?

I've been reading a lot of about adoption laws in Ohio and thankfully they have a very open-minded adoption system (Unlike NH and FL). I've seriously been considering this and I'm just looking for some opinions from those who have gone through it.

Oh yes, and adoption is defiinitly cool. My girlfriend's cousin is adopted, and I think its one of the most meaningful things you can do with your life.

It really does save the life of a child.

If I have kids, I'll probably adopt them. I have no interest in being pregnant. My Aunt Jill adopted two little girls from China, and they are the most precious things in the world. My cousin Mike, who is my age, was adopted from Korea when we were five. And my cousin Jacob was a domestic adoption.

It's a cool thing to do. The agency my Aunt used for the China adoptions was called Journeys of the Heart, I think, and they do all kinds of international adoptions. Don't try for China if you want a boy, of course.

Yes, its really something when you think about it.

I totally forget most of the time that my four cousins are all adopted. They are just my cousins like any other.

Good luck to you!

I love having cousins with cool backgrounds. I'm a boring white girl.

Mike still keeps in touch with his Korea-Grandma, it was more of an open adoption situation.

I think international adoptions are wrong.

Adoption itself is very good.

Just curious.. why? Adoption is almost always a great thing. Taking a child who is not wanted or cannot be raised properly, and putting them into a better situation.
