Synesthesia,
Have you ever thought about adopting from another country until China becomes and option for you?

I don't have a house either... I live in apt...and I started the foster to adopt process an should be fully licensed no later than March.

I also do not have a large savings, but I am not letting that stop me. I also plan to start the process to adopt from Haiti, sometime next year as well. Right now they are enforcing the 1974 adoption laws , which I don't qualify under, but they are expected to ease up sometime later next year....but since I want to be a mommy now, so I decided to become a licensed foster parent...

I plan to do back to back adoptions from FC and then from haiti.

Yeah, I could be a whole lot better off financially, but I know plently of people who make way less money than I do and have way more bills than I do, who are adopting or having kids and if they can do it, I know I can.

I also do not have a boyfriend or husband.. and don't see myself having one in the near future, but I am not letting that stop me either

The thing is I'm not 30 yet. I don't have a house or enough savings and I do not have a boyfriend.
But, the urge to adopt is so strong I might just do it whether I have a husband or not, but China has made the rules stricter when it comes to single adoptions, but a lot can happen in 2 years.
For some reason, I want to adopt right now!
