I don't know of a support group in the area but we'd love to get together for a playdate. We adopted transracially... four times. Our oldest is 9 and our youngest is 2. We're in the Clear Lake Area.

PM me. I'd love to meet up. Bay Area Park maybe?

Adoption Support Group
I am thinking about starting a Church Based Adoption Support Group / Bible Study in Deer Park. My family has 2 bio children, and one trans-racial foster child we are trying to adopt. Would any of you be interested in more info?

My husband and I are looking into adoption and we're a bit overwhelmed and nervous about picking a good agency. Could anyone recommend one in the Houston area?

That completely depends on what you want. Do you want to adopt internationally (if so, what country?) Do you want to adopt an abused or neglected child from CPS? Or Do you want an agency to find a pregnant mother who does not want the baby?

Hi Witty, Congrats on the adoption. Just a tip, you may want to through some of the posts on the birth parents side to brush up on termenology. Stating "pregnant mother who does not want the baby" can be found offensive by birth parents & tsome of them will tear you apart. Phrasing is very important to them, like it is to adoptive parents.
