Default Adopting

So we have submitted the paperwork to show we want to adopt. By summer of next year we should have a new addition.

That's great!

Bill's sister's sister-in-law and her husband just adopted their baby girl from Guatemala. They brought her home a few days before Christmas, what a great Christmas present!

I hope your process goes quickly and smoothly for you guys!

We are using a agency that sends your profile to a birthmother and then that birthmother hopefully chooses your profile. This entire process including having to wait for delivery usually takes anywhere from 12 to 16 months. We looked at fostering to adopt, but didn't want to get attached to a child then something comes up and the child gets taken away. Going this route legal transfer is in 3 days (California Law minimum).

Unfortantly we had a placement for 20 months only to be pulled back from adoption to Mom, 2 months later back in system, but because of school he was placed at another home that ended up adopting him.

Good Luck!

That sucks!!!!! Not only for the mom and guardians, but for the child. I couldn't imagine my daughter having to remember and get attached to new faces. The route we are going costs a bit more but it seems worth it, especially since taxes and jobs give incentives, rebates, and deductions for adoptions.
