We have two bio. sons and have been fostering for over 6 years. We are waiting to bring our 3 y.o. son home from New York (special needs) and are in the process of adopting our 3 yo foster daughter. My answer was and is that "children are what makes my world go 'round". I always have loved kids and relish in just being in their little glorious presences. They are cherubs! I cannot stand the thought of one single child without family and a sense of belonging. I have felt this way since I was 5 and at that tender age, I already knew I would foster and/or adopt children not as likely to have forever homes. I never use the term "unadoptable" because I simply don't believe that awful term applies to any human being though I have heard it used often. My nurturing side comes out best when I am caring for kids. It just so happens that I was also blessed with a wonderfully supportive husband and two sons always ready to share and give. I guess my answer would be....I'm following my heart. Best wishes to you in growing your family through adoption. It gives me the same thrill as giving birth...it's totally amazing!!
