Hey Folly! Congratulations on your baby girl!

I'm adopted and just adopted a baby girl last November...

I had a couple of questions for you if you feel comfortable answering them.

When you thought about adoption....was it just the financial aspect-not being able to provide financially etc that drew you most to considering adoption?
How is your life different now that you are parenting? Have you found support, not only financially but in other ways that you thought you'd never have?
When you look back before your baby was born, were you just scared to become a parent or questioned your ability to raise a child that made you think about adopting?

How has the agency that you worked with treated you since your decision to parent? Did they ever make you feel a certain way when you made that decision?

And...had you chosen a waiting adoptive couple/single yet prior to your baby's birth? Or been shown profiles?

IF so, just wondering what your thoughts are on choosing adoptive parents and then deciding to parent affected you or them.

Thank you for any insight!
