[Forever_family]

It seems diserted but I wondered if anyone had adopted an AA or biracial child through LDSFA. We have 2 children and for a long time felt we could not go through Lds adoption agency because of the 2 child ban. We are very happy to hear that ban has been lifted. We have had many wonderful experiences leading us towards adoption of our AA or biracial baby.

I know it sounds a little strange to know our child is AA or bircial, but I just know. I spent 2 years volunteering at an orphanage in the Caribbean and we have recently become foster parents. I have had several experinces leading us to this.

Being a foster parent is about ready to break my heart. I wish I was strong enough but feel I am not. I don't feel our forever child is going to come through the foster care program and I am aching for my baby.

We have looked into international adoptions but don't feel comfortable with this option. We are very interested in LDSFA, my worry is that they are not "diverse" enough. Perhaps that is not a valid worry. I also don't want to rob a childless couple the joy of parenthood and almost feel selfish going through them, does that make sense? I just know that our baby is supposed to come to our home. It is hard not being able to have more chidlren. Adoption was something we had discussed but not something we felt we would do because we already had our 2 dd's. Life seemed very full and we felt blessed. The only way to explain it is that we know this baby is supposed to come to our home and he/she is our child by spirit. Trying to find him or her.
