My husband and I have two childre, but feel there is a void in our life. Me having more children is a very serious issue. There are risks on top of risks!! Since me getting pregnant is such a high risk, adoption seems to be the only option to have more children! I know there are many babies born into this country every day who are unwatned. My husband and I make a little over 20,000 a year (he works while I take care of the children) and I'm not about to go work full time so we can "qualify" for adoption so that a daycare can raise my children! Is there any company out there that helps parents who are fully qualified to adopt in every aspect but financially? We may have a lower income than others, but our children are very healthy, smart, happy, and loved!!! The story would be the same for any children we would adopt. There's gotta be something out there that can assist us in an adoption!

If you sign on as foster parents you can specify that you are interested in infants or toddlers who are likely to be placed for adoption. You won't know as soon as a child is placed with you, but you may end up being eligible to adopt an infant you have had since he/she was young. Also, if you adopt from the foster care system there is a program called 'special needs adoption' which will provide a monthly cash payment to help you family, if you take a 'hard to place' child--one who is handicapped, above a certain age, or if you accept more than one child from the same family. It's not enough money to raise a child, but it does help with some of the special challenges you may encounter.

I cannot help but wonder why you aren't happy with the two children you have. Seems to me you should concentrate more on being grateful for the 2 healthy kids you already have! With your income at only $20K, what kind of life would you be offering a newborn? Do you own a home? Or live in an apartment? Kids today need the right tools to succeed in the world, and they will also want the same things their friends have. I think you should wait until your financial situation improves, and consider adopting an older child. Money isn't everything, but it sure helps put food on the table.

Being a child of the court system growing up... consider fostering first. Alot of unwanted children need a loving family and most are adoptable with out the income constraints. Most are of mixed races, but if you are opend minded and enjoy motherhood, definately look into it. Once you have established yourself in the system, (usually after a year of probation) infants with be considered into your home. Its a great and reqarding experience, and the state pays you to take care and nuture thes children. so both you and the child will come out on top.

Try to find a child that needs to be adopted and don't go through an agency or the state. Just get a lawyer, it'll be tough emotionally and financially but if you have a good savings and a good relationship with your family you can get through anything.
I wish you the best of luck! The world needs more people like you.

It seems rather selfish for you to totally disregard fostering, Many young children need homes and while you are fostering it helps provide proof you might need to overcome the financial aspects with children's services on your side. Question is how you would afford quality of life on the budget you put down?

No, your actual mothers and fathers gave you away - which potential they did not desire or you've been taken which potential they were incapable. Having you followed or taken away is them dropping that good. i stumble upon it so ungrateful even as human beings bypass after thje paents that didn'twant them or couldnt preserve them even as they have those who've taken them in as their own and loved them, looked after them; to have it thrown of their face. how might want to you experience in case you've been the adoptive mothers and fathers? Theres no element in digging up the previous, do you extremely imagine you receives the perfect ansers out of your organic and organic mothers and fathers? this is going to damage you and those round you. even if it change right into a strong idea; this is throwing it on your adptive mothers and fathers face. No offense.

you can adopt through foster parenting sometimes you get babies or toddlers but if you really want to adopt you should not be choosy. give your love to the kids who have parents that are not around they need it just as and more. for this you just have to go through the classes and pass the screening so what are you waiting for.,
