I know there is an adoption forum, but I was curious if anyone from here had or knows anyone with experience with this!

We do plan on adopting at one point in our lives. We want one of our own, but we would also like to adopt just because Terra and her mother are both adopted. We feel like it's just something we are supposed to do. We are doing this through the state, so it will be hard to get a baby. There are plenty of 6-10 yr olds that need homes, but I'm just not sure if I'm up for the huge task of taking in a child that age...

Aww...that is so awesome. Well, I'm sure the process can definitely take some time do hopefully once things get going you will feel more ready. Adopting is a huge thing to begin with, so I can totally understand he feeling of not being ready taking an older child but I think you will do fine

Good luck! I hope everything works out for you!

Thank you! The process takes 4-6 months. So hopefully then we will feel better about a decision.

My DH's massage therapist has 3 children from foster adoption. She asked him if we had considered it. According to her, she thinks it's a good option. She said there are often very young ones that need homes and the state helps with the adoption fees.

I'm sure it's different from state to state, but she said it's been one of the best experiences of her life and really encouraged us to think about it for ourselves.
