I am a single foster/adoptive mom. I just finalized the adoption of my daughter from foster care. She has been with me since she was 5 weeks old. Additionally I have had 5 other placements of infants. When I became certified I was 27 years old and some of my family members thought I was crazy. As they have come to know my Lanie however and watched me parent her they have wondered why I didn't have children sooner.

It has been the best choice I have ever made. As a result my mother became a foster/adoptive parent as well and is currently in the process of finalizing the adoption of my fs J. You will change your life through adoption and the life of a child but you may also affect other people's lives. You could give them the courage to look into new possibilities!
