Hello, I am a hopeful adoptive parent as well as adopted myself and not sure where to begin. If you gave a child up for adopiton, is there anywhere you could recommend that I go to get my profile out, a reputable agency, lawyer that you liked/disliked anything that might help me in my journey to adopt. I would be so greatful!

Hmm. I'm a birth mom from the bad old days (closed era) so I'm not sure I can be much help since I had little input into the choice of parents. One thing that I am happy about personally, is that D's aparents and I share similar values and lifestyle. At this point in my life (remember I'm a grandmother these days, lol.) I would want to know your philosophy of parenting! What are the things that are important in your life? My personal desire was to find parents for D who were ready and eager to parent. Some people want their child to be an only, others want the child to have siblings. What is your spirituality? Are you believers, church attenders Muslems, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Wikkan, athiest, etc.? Be as honest and open about yourselves as you can.
