Hi this is only an opinion. First I want to Congratulate you on your marriage. You just got married, so I would suggest you first get adapted to being married. Being a wife is hard enough without having children. Enjoy your time w\your hubby first becuz after having the children, they take up most of your time.
My experience I knew my husband since I was fifteen. We started dating when I was 19 yrs old. We eloped when I was 21. I was on the pill and we got pregnant @ 22 & had Gabriella @23, but it was hard. When I became pregnant I didn't feel I was ready nor did my husband. My pregnancy was hell and it cost a lot of arguements, but now Gaby is his baby. We know also have a 1 yr old, Alexandra. I know age does not matter it's the maturity a person has. An example, my brother is 32 yrs old and has a 8 yr old daughter he hardly sees because he wasn't ready. I guess what I wanna say is first make sure you & your hubby r ready. I fun and the best being a parent, but it takes a lot of commitment, responsiblity, and love.
Now to answer between adopting or fostering. If you have financial concerns you can foster-adopt. Look up if foster-adopt is available to you in your state.
My problem with fostering I love children & I can't see myself providing for these children who can then be removed or taken away from me becuz their family wants them back. I'm too emotional & I get attached to easily. If a child is coming into my home is becuz their mine & I'm mommy.
Now adoption I like becuz they will be yours. Yes it's costly but pregnancy is the same. It's a long proccess but it's worth it. You get a beautiful child to call your own. As far as cost there is a federal tax crdt one gets for an adopted child. Also there's grants and loans. You can also see if your employer gives some type of reinbursement for the adoption. Check w\your & your hubby's human resources.
My hubby & I are starting ou r adoption proccess. We want to adopt from Guatemala. (a Boy) You might ask why do we want to adopt. Well I've always wanted to adopt. Also I mentioned I love children. I always said I'll have three or four children. Well unfortanately I'm not meant to be pregnant. Both my pregnancies were hell. Always in the hospital due to morning sickness I lost forty pounds with Gaby and with Alex's pregnancy I lost 21 lbs & my gall bladder. I hated being pregnant. Will never do it again. So adoption was our solution. Now it hasn't been a very easy decision. My husband had & still has many questions. He wanted a child know one could ever claim. We want a boy. Cost very big factor. We're saving every penny. And finally we scared becuz we have heard very beautiful adopton stories, but we've also heard horrible ones too.
Well it's your choice. Again this is my advice. Ever need anyone to talk to email me or send me a private message.
Take care God Bless You & Your Famliy.
Diana
