Heart I'm New Too

Hiyas,

My name's Diane. I have just applied to an adoption agency and I'm a bit anxious. My husband and I have been married 18 years and we have a biological son who turned 10 yesterday We had a few miscarraiges before we had Josh and we concieved him with the help of fertility doctors. After an awful high risk pregnancy, thankfully, he was born healthy but I needed a hysterectomy afterwards. My kidneys were failing due to a childhood strep infection that had left them much weakened. 3 years ago I recieved a kidney transplant from my mom. We're now hoping to adopt an infant into our family! I'm really nervous about the home study...

Anyway, glad to meet yas!

Heart

Welcome Diane! A lot of us domestic parents are on the General Adoptive Parent Support forum. Try not to be too nervous about the HS, it really isn't that bad.

Don't worry, be honest. They know you are REAL people. They would be MORE worried if you tried to pretend your life is always perfection. Just be honest about your life & it will all be FINE! I didn't have a perfect childhood & neither did my parents. We don't have perfect relationships with each other or our families but its reality! Don't worry, you will be fine!
