My husband and I have been waiting for our adotion agency to call us with some news on the adoption. It has been only 5 months since all the paper work and home study are completed. I guess this is for other adoptive parent how long did you have to wait for a child? What did you do to keep your mind off the wait?
Just a point my brother and I came across.
I’m neither, for, nor against Gay marriage, but my brother is against. And this is a question, concerning how Same Sex couples, cannot reproduce together (themselves only), turn to adoption.
If your teenage daughter came to you and told you she was pregnant, and had decided to place the baby for adoption and the baby’s father agreed, how would you react? Would you support her decision, try to talk to her about other options, tell her “No Way!”?
I’m really interested what others think about this celebrity adoption trend. Starts are adopting from different countries and cultures, and almost non of the children will learn anything about their origins and traditions. Of course, in some cases they will, e.g. the Jolie-Pitts celebrate every important occasions /they have adopted babies from Cambodia, Vietnam and Ethiopia if I know well/ of the countries they adopted from. I think they do it right. I’m personally not against this celebrity adoption, as rich and famous give a better life to these orphans. Now, what are your thoughts?
i am interested in getting a red-eared slider turtle. i have read that if you buy a turtle at a pet store that they are often sick and can die soon after even with proper care and that it is better to buy a turtle from a adoption or rescue agency, but i don’t know of any. if you know of one it would be of great help.
I am needing to get permission from a court to open my sealed adoption record and a lawyer charges me 1,000 plus court costs.
My Mother gave a child up for adoption in Dallas, Texas many years ago..the child would be around 10-15 years of age now. I would like to find my brother. Can someone help me as to what a good place to start would be?
I keep hearing how Australia and the UK have different, and some say better, adoption practices.
How is it different?
What makes it better?
I’d happily look it up myself, but I keep getting sites on adopting Australian Shepard dogs! LOL!!
I’m really curious.
I don’t mean to sound like a arrogant American, or that I’m looking down on anything that isn’t “Truth, Justice and The American Way”. I just can’t find any info on the matter.
Thanks!
I am in reunion with my older brother who was given up for adoption. We just met 4 months ago, and I had just found out about him even existing. We have become close, and I am looking for some good upbeat quotes about the connection of a brother and sister.
I know I can’t get a cat, but I really like to look at the ones online in adoption centers. Do you guys have some links? Thanks!
