Hi ladies I am new to this board and thought I would introduce myself and share my story with you........ From the time i was a little girl I new i wanted to have lots of kids. I got married when i was young and thankfull we had 2 children of our own. A boy now 8 and a girl 7. We also have a 5 year old adopted daughter. At the time we adopted her i didn't know i had PCOS. I got a call from a friend one day and said her mother n law was looking for someone to watch her granddaughter for the week because her son was in trouble and in jail for something having to do with drugs. And If she couldn't find anyone she was going to have to turn the baby over to child protective services. (nice G-ma) I was a stay at home mom anyways and agreed to watch her for the week. I feel in love with her the first day. She was 16 months old and so tiny. She wieghed only 20 lbs. She came to us with a tiny bag of clothes that didin't even fit her. she had curly light brown hair and the cutest dimples ever. She was so sweet. Well after the week was up no one came for her, it about broke my heart. The son was sent to some rehab for drugs and the grandma couldn't watch her. I later found out that they had be living in there car. So we asked if we could adopt her and the father said no but that he would give us Legal custody because she was sick and needed medical care. She had never had vaccinations and was malnutritioned. The mom had abanded her and lived in another state. So for 2 years we were her family. Then the dad wanted her back. We fought a long custody battle and won by the grace of God. Both the birth mom and dad fought us. We spent all of our savings but it was all worth it in the end. She is finnally offically ours.
............... I have been ttc now for about 4 years with one miscarriage. We are now seriously thinking about adopting but we are scared and don't know where to start. If any of you could give us any tips or advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for listening to our story.
