Hello! Hubby and I are in the visiting process with two boys - both with CF, the older one also with diabetes. Thought I would see if anyone out there has experience with this, has any advice to share?

Hi, I'm Robin- I am 24 and have Cystic Fibrosis. I was actually on here looking to see how agencies felt about people with Cystic Fibrosis adopting children as having them can be difficult for people with CF and I read your post. I wanted to offer up my contact info to you incase you had any questions. I'm sure you have resources and info on CF, but I thought it couldn't hurt to offer anyway- you're doing a wonderful thing and I wish you all the best of luck!

I probably have little to offer - as Robin's experience would be way more helpful. Our neighbor has CF (11 years old)...I know that there are swings in his quality of life. LOADS of medication daily - but his family believes firmly in letting him 'do his thing' - he's a great athlete and participates fully at school. There are times when he's out for weeks at the hospital. It's hard on his mom and dad...just so hard to see your kiddo sick.
