Adoption

I'm happy to report my husband and i are well on our way to adopting! Our home visit is scheduled on the 29th. I'm so nervous! There is so much to be done, and its not frugal my friends! Making sure we meet all the regulations is costly! But it will be worth it in the end. I am concerned with our agency. The woman who will be doing the home visit has pushed me during both phone calls to accept 2 children at once. We are not ready to go from no babies to a toddler and infant! Thats far too overwhelming. She says, and i understand that typically they have better success finding 2 healthy little ones under 3 then one healthy baby under 12 months. But this wanna be mama is not ready to go there yet!

Definitely don't let then push you. It is good to be open to new things but you have to go with what you believe is right for you and also the child.

We are adopting, hopefully a 3-6 yr old child, from San Diego County and we were recently offered a set of 3. Yes "3". It is hard because you want to be able to give difficul to place kids a home- but you have to know your limits. It is better for everyone.
