[Badie]

Well dh and I just agreed to begin the adoption process. Actually we were thinking of looking into foster to adopt but then on our state's home page for DHR it says they are not accepting adoption applications for healthy white children under the age of 6 which would be what we are looking for (a healthy infant). It's not that we are being picky about adopting or fostering a healthy child but I run a home daycare and there is no way I would be able to meet the demands of a special needs child and run the daycare too. We are totally lost on the whole thing. We are wanting to adopt domestically. My husband and I were married May 2002. I just turned 25 and my dh just turned 30. We have been ttc #1 for almost 4 years (since we married). We pursued medical help November 2005 and found out I had a very bad case of PCOS. The doctor still wanted me to try clomid first. So we had 2 failed rounds of it. My husband and I don't believe in IVF or IUI so the next step would be having my tubes checked and other medical testing. However my dh says he is ready to pursue adoption and/or foster care. I have already been ready to look into both. I was ready 2 years ago but financially it was impossible at the time. I am calling the DHR lady who is over foster care in our county tomorrow. I will let you know what she says. I am hoping she will be able to give us alot of info about foster care and adoption. I dont' think adoption from our state will be possible since it seems they aren't taking any applications for what we are looking for. I ask for information from anyone. All info is needed. Whatever you can add would be great. Thanks!
