Hi I'm new here

Hi. My name is Rachel. My husband and I have recently decided to adopt from Korea. We have a three month old biological son named Aaron, but we have decided to persue adoption in order to give a needy child a good, loving home. We have decided to go with Holt and we're going to start the paperchase in November in order to give our son time to be the baby.

Hi Rachel,

It's Missy from Babycenter. Great to see you hear. Congrats on your adoption journey. I think our timelines may be very similiar.

Take care,

Hi Rachel,

Good luck with everything I've only been here about a month -- DH and I started the process in January, and this will be our first child. We're going through KSS.

Us, too!!

Your story sounds very similiar to our family's. We have a one year old bio son and are awaiting our referral (hopefully by the end of May) for our adopted son. We have just always felt called and compelled to adopt and wanted to do it now, rather than wait, for fear of letting the opportunity slip away. So excited for your family. Best of luck and God bless!
