Thinking of adoption

Stay At Home Wife · 04-13-2007, 06:20 PM

Me and my husband are thinking of adoption, I am now reading and learning. I may have to have a hysterectomy this year, sooo I want to get the ball rolling or at least learn about it. Can you kindly direct me in the way of international adoption?

I just wanted to reply and say that I wanted to wish you all the best with everything and let you know that your in my thoughts. I know that it is hard to know which direction to go at first but there is so much information out there. Read on it as much as you can and you will find what route is best for you! ((HUGS))

Some helpful websites:

www.adoption.com
www.rainbowkids.com
www.wacap.org (this is the agency we used for our son's adoption from Korea)
www.holtintl.org (b/c of moving we will be using Holt for our next Korean adoption)
http://www.adoptionlearningpartners.org/index.cfm (great for learning about adoption)
http://www.angelfire.com/journal/ado...adopthelp.html (site that you can learn about financial help)

We chose to adopt from Korea mainly because that's what God placed in our hearts, but the medical care is practically identicial to ours and almost all the children are in foster homes. Don't worry about choosing a country or agency first...that will come as your heart makes clear where your children are. We thought we decided on an agency then we were going to pick from their countries, but felt so drawn to Korea and that agency didn't have a Korea program. I love WACAP, their staff is fantastic. They recently opened their Vietnam program too.

If you have any questions, please ask!
