I was wondering if any of you ladies have any experiences adopting through their state's childrens services? And if you'd be willing to share your experience. Information about your experience, how it went, what ages you were able to adopt, etc...
My DH and I have been talking a lot about adoption lately. And we've finally decided that if by January we are not any closer to having a biological child we will be starting the adoption process one way or another. Right now we are trying to decide if we would like to do adoption through the state, or private infant adoption.
I recently suffered my second m/c and it was a very painful experience both emotionally and physically... much worse than the first m/c. We've been trying for two years now, and we're currently on a TTC break while we undergo repeat loss testing.
I've been doing a lot of research especially lately on adoption given the circumstances. I just need to have some loose plan in place, something to look forward to. Even if we have a child biologically, I still think we will eventually see about adopting (Probably through the state.) So, I still want to research this option no matter what happens.
I'm really thinking about this option in particular because, one, the cost would be less. Two, it may be an older child, but I would still love them. The way I see it... we could go this route. Then later down the road, for our second child, we will probably still want an infant... So, when we decide to have another child we could either try fertility treatments again or go through private infant adoption the second time around.
At least that is our rough plan at the moment
