Hey River, its kinda tuff looking for documentation when you have so little. If you know where your father was adopted, the court records are there. There may be something in those records that will help if the records are sealed. If the records are sealed it may be difficult to get the information you seek. It may be that you need attorney help. Many attorneys provide a first interview that...

Looking for birth family. I was born in Harvey. 01/27/1969. Private adoption.

After researching I found that costs vary from $15000 to $40000. That was pretty ridiculous to m y husband and i. We took the required adoption course to figure out later what we would do and decided there that fostering to adopt was for us. Pros:You can get a baby that's a newborn, a few months old, a few years old or whatever you request. You don't pay anything. And you have the baby...

Just found out that our home study is scheduled for June 15th!!! Excited, but very nervous!!!

I also agree with the rest - don't sign if you are questioning. We are in a somewhat similar situation, we are in Canada and adopting our niece internationally (not US). It has been a long and rocky road since although it is kinship we still have to fulfill all of the usual adoption requirements and immigration on top. My sister in law said right from the beginning - prior to birth - that...

I would also say that since your child is not troublesome or quarrelsome at home it means he is not a habitual trouble maker. Either consult other people or change the preschool.

Having adopted 2 boys, I know how expensive adoption can be. Build A Menu has a fundraiser that is helping those in the process of adopting to raise money. They also give a portion of all their proceeds to adoption care but this is a great way for families to help with the cost. Here's the post from their FB page last night. Wanted to share the info. We're looking for families in the...

I had my younger son dedicated before the finalization. He was then 4.

I'm sorry this is happening with your son. I just received a placement of 2 and 3 year old (almost 3 and 4) sisters When I took the call nobody mentioned a possible Autistic diagnoses for both girls. I am suppose to be basic only. I know their Dr. told the parents that this was possible and to get them evaluated, they did not. I know they were also requested to put them in ECI but the parents...

I have a friend who had cervical warts removed at four years old. Every time she goes in for her annual she has scar tissue and they tell her that it has to be sa. She has no memory but grew up in an abusive home. That sounds suspicious to me.
