OK a little about me.
My name is Rachel and I got pregnant in may of 2007. Our pregnancy was VERY complicated and our daughter was born 12 weeks early and passed away months later from a heart defect. I became pregnant agin a month after her passing. The pregnancy was going good until I reached 32 weeks when her heart just stopped. I delivered our sweet Hannah sleeping. I had severe complications durring the delivery and almost lost my uterus. I was advised not to have any future pregnancies due to the risk to me and the unborn child. So we are now looking into adoption.

My husband had several DWI before we meet. I think the last one he got was at least 7 or 8 years ago. He dosen't drink anymore and I think it was more of a growing up kinda thing for him. Like most guys they do dumb things in their younger years. My question is do you think this will hold us back. Do you think because of his past history we will be denied?

Several people have posted and asked things similar. All you can do is be honest with the social workers and hope for the best. I wish you luck!

I agree with PP. Just be honest with your agency and let them know that your husband has settled down and hasn't done anything dumb in quite a while. The agencies know that when people are young they don't make the best decisions but when they get married and settle down they follow the right path. Good luck!

My DH had a DUI about 8 years ago as well. They just asked how he handled it, does he drink now, does he drink and drive etc. No big deal but be hones from the beginning because they will find out from the background check and it will look bad if you lie.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your children.

I agree, just be honest and upfront with everyone involved. Are you considering both international and domestic? Different countries can be pretty strict, so domestic might be a good choice.

We were actually just looking at domestic. International would be our last option I think. We discussed it and think that domestic would be best for us. There are so many children here in the US that need homes as well.
