As far as how old I was when we met, and all the red flags I could raise. You are priding into my life a little.
But I was 18 when we met in person. I talked online with him for 7 months. My parents knew of him and wanted to meet him for themself. I love him very much and am not ashamed of our relationship and age difference at all. When people see me and meet me they have absolutely no idea of my age, that is because I am a responsible adult and mother of a beautiful 12 month old son. This may bother some people but the subject never comes up because , again, I do not look or act my age. Which was one of many reasons that I am with an older man.
Yes, I have looked at all our options of adoption. In fact, I have info. packets ranging from International, domestic open adoption, and one on fostering to adopt. We finaly BOTH decided that we would rather do international but cost got in the way. And then we discovred Ethiopia and both of us fell in love with the country and idea of bring a child home that would otherwise live in poverty. We filled out the application last night. But I do thank you for your input on dom. adoption.
As far as agencies not wanting to work with us, it's not true. I have only been turned down by two, based on age. Others have welcomed us to their program for aa/biracial infants. Atleast 3 off the top off my head.
I always feel out of place. I am young but have different goals than most girls my age. And women that are older than me, well, think I am off my rocker. I do not enjoy being looked at this way, it is very lonely. I have a hard time fitting in, but it's not the most important thing to me. Loving children is.
I am young and energetic I want to give this to children now not later! -Dani
