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 :-6)

This may be of some help, Good luck :-6

Wow, Love and hubby:-4

That is absolutely brilliant. Best of love and luck to you..Keep us posted...good on ya...all babies need a loving mom and dad who want and adore them.:-4

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!:-4:-4

Oh, what exciting news! You will both be so happy!:-4

Thank you

We, of course, have to get married first :-4

I love him & can't wait to have a chitlin of our own.

Wishing you all great joy .... what a wonderful thing for all of you :-6

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.

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.

This is lovely news, I truly wish you both the very best with this and that you all have many years of happiness and joy ahead!! :-4 :-6
