Nice to hear from someone! And it looks as though you are a bit farther along in the process than I am.

Luckily when I am done with the paper work I will have school work to do, I am trying to get as much of my bachelor degree done in the wait as I can. But I'm sure I will become the crazy waiting parent that has to have updates at all times, I'm working on my patience level!!!

Well now there is three of us. It's good to know that there are people in the area that really get what I am doing, the family is supportive, but don't get it!

Yup

How long until your adoption is complete?

Oh it's going to be awhile, I have just picked the agency, working on picking the homestudy agency, so I will offically start next month. I have been doing the little things to get the house together, cleaning out the extra bedroom, so it looks like it's not a storage shed as much as it is a bedroom.

1ST TIME ADOPTIVE PARENT

Cool


Hello from Phoenix. I am a soon to be first time adoptive parent. We started out only wanting to do fostercare and on our very 1st placement we fell in love. She is a perfect fit for our family and we are adopting. We have completed our Home Study and are waiting on a Judge to sign the papers. It seems to take forever!

We are Therapeutic Foster Parents for Title - 19 kidos and are getting fustrated with the whole, we can't place any of these needy children with families ordeal that has been going on for the past year or so. So we are planing to change to foster/adopt after this one is completed. Any local stories out there or suggestions?

I also work for CPS as a Case Manager. I hope to be able to continue to work because I love it and my husband is willing to be available as a stay at home dad! He is all for the adoption/foster care scene and says "Bring them on" We just can't get any placed with us....

Hello, I am in Buckeye. Just started our adoption journey. The first agency we came in contact was discouraging, disheartening, and didn't want to make an effort to help in anyway. I am looking into other agencies but finding it all expensive. Any suggestions to managing the cost? Or an agency you find to be helpful.
