Domestic adoption
My husband and I just lost a child thru a cruel adoption that failed. This birth mother has had 7 children at age 26 and she is not supposed to be with her children per the state of Arizona. However, she is living with them. Our next step is to go with an agency. We just lost alot of moeny thru attorney's with this process and our resources are strapped as a result. Can anyone please recommend a domestic agency? I have no clue where to begin. I am terrified but we need a baby asap!

Have you considered adopting through the state?

I have called the state of Arizona and they tell me that they will only place children over the age of 7 with special needs. How wrong is that!? We really need help finding a baby!

Hi,
I do not mean to be insensitive, but I think you should first grieve the loss of this child before you regroup and plan another adoption. I know I had a toddler with our family for 4 months before having to return her to her bmom. No adoption is quick, fast or ASAP. I would take a deep breath for now, then start planning. Robyn

I am sorry, but that is not possible. We are up against one fight and that is an age restriction.

what about adopting from another state? im not sure what the costs are with that, but im sure they are substantially lower than a private adoption.
good luck!

I would call the state back and clarify. It makes no sense that they only place children over the age of 7. What happens to the kids that come into care earlier? There are many people on these forums how have children younger than 7 placed with them from state foster care.

We have been in your shoes! First, you have my sincerest empathy for your loss (financial and emoional). Second, I know it is expensive, but after our domestic adoption failure, we chose an international waiting child. It was the best thing we did.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Rebecca
