Thank you, Leigh, for your response. I will look for the yahoo group. Both my adoptive parents are gone now (they lived into their 80's and were top-notch parents!), but I think I do have the name of the adoption agency somewhere (I think it was Sheltering Arms). I doubt it still exists. I have...

Everything you have said about this would also make me mad, upset and jealous. I am an adult adoptee too!! There is NO WAY he treated you fairly and it stinks that he did not want kids with you and then found out how happy having a child (adult though) could make his life. Was it because she was...

I can understand hesitation to offer up explanations that "might" be because no one wants to insult someone by implying something that isn't the case. It's touchy. I hope something shifts in the situation.

Does not seem to me that the child would qualify for a special rate. To my knowledge it must be a serious chronic issue. My daughter, was in the NICU, for 5 days b/c of RSV and on home oxygen for weeks. She has an inherited blood disorder which we were at the doc. a lot for and was in services...

We had a very good experience with AdoptHelp. They were within the quoted budget, and we were matched in about 2 months (more quickly than their average) and had no failed matches. I feel they were always ethical and took a conservative approach in making sure all legal aspects were handled...

Thank you for your offer, but we found her. Quite by accident really. We went through the Children's Home Society and they let her know we were looking and so she did a search on the internet under her name and found us. Thank God!

This is a very interesting thread and does make one think. Our first placement was a preemie that was born addicted. Her mom had a long history of drug abuse and we were told that she would have at least 6 months of rehab prior to RU. Instead baby went home after a month. I truly thought that...

We had an emergency placement of a set of three siblings and the four year old would spout information. His eight year old sister would tell me "he likes to tell stories" or "that one is true" depending on what he was saying. I think I probably drove the CW insane with my...

How exciting! You can do it.

My husband and I have a blended family with 6 children. 4 of whom are here 50% of the time. We are very interested in adding a baby to our family. I was told that the state of California only allows 6 children to live in the home at a time. Therefore, we would not be able to adopt. We have the...
