I may not be very wealthy, but I am financially secure & psychologically prepared to love, protect, and care for my child, unconditionally. My family & I live within a 30 mile radius from my home in San Diego , and they are beautiful, kind, warm & supportive people, as well as being my dearest friends.
I know that I am finally ready to meet this incredible challenge. I have so much to give to an infant--5+ y.o. Above all, I have the love, the time, the Ivy League Education, and the ability to be present, in every aspect of the word. The realization that I am incapable of carrying a child, has given me the strength to attempt to match that child who needs me. I believe that things happen for a reason(s) and somehow, I know that my search will result with a little girl's hand in mine. I just know that she's out there, possibly scared & lonely, so please help me find her. Please...

I hate to be negative about your decision to try and go this route for adoption. My wife and I are going through this right now, and have been for a year and a half. When and if the process the is done, we vowed to never go thru this corrupt system again. If it's not the judges that rule the courts it's the department that doesn't seem to be able to communicate with one another. Most times they make a foster parent feel like they do not matter to the child at all. My advice to you is try the international route, it may be pricey, about 20 thousand, but a lot less headache/heartache.

We went through a catastrophe in trying to adopt. We were lied to, had important information withheld from us, and it disrupted. We had children placed with us that were everything our homestudy said we couldn't handle. When we were told they had a match for us we (thought) ivestigated thouroughly - talked with foster parent, social worker, etc. We were given incorrect info for medical, schooling, etc. It was horrible for us, our children & the poor girls who were erroniously placed with us. I agree the system is corrupt & terribly inept. It is a total disgrace.
