We're going to adopt!
Josh and I have decided to adopt a toddler after I gradutate. We have no idea how to get the process started. We assume that if we want to adopt in 2 years, we should go ahead and get the ball rolling now.
Anybody got some advice to point us in the right direction? (We are soooooo excited  )

Re: We're going to adopt!
I have a friend that adopted a newborn last summer and she was so very happy with the agency she went through. The process took less than 6 months, and I was SHOCKED....always thought it took years, and I'm sure with some agencies it does.
I do remember her telling me that Texas is one of the states that once Mom & Dad (guardian) signs the papers, it is a done deal, there is no going back to court later if they change thier minds. Good luck and keep us posted! Children are blessings from above, that is for sure! |

Re: We're going to adopt!
That has to be so exciting for you. I am sorry, but I dont know how to tell you about going about it. But good luck, and hope you get what you wish for soon.

Re: We're going to adopt!
My step sis went to Russia for her child and a co worker just got back from Guatemala or Honduras for their adopted child. Dont know if this is a trend or it beats cutting through red tape and long waits here.
Keep your options open and good luck. Its a nice thing youre doing.
