Hey everyone Im Chey. I am a sahm to 4 beautiful kids. I have twin girl Riley and Cameron they are 18 months old and will be 19 months on friday. My son Caden is my adopted son. He is 16 months old and we adopted him when he was going on 3 months old. We welcomed our second boy Elijah on May 28th.

Hi. I have three children. Two bio-girls (14 & 10) and our son came to us at 3 1/2 years, he's 7 now. It's been a rough journey! :0) We adopted through the state and did not foster him first. Pretty much this little stranger was dropped off at our house (we were his 6th transition). We are learning as we go what a "special" little boy we have been given and to hold tight to our Faith.

Hi! I'm Sandrine. We have a 11 yr old girl , and a 7 yr old son with ADHD and high functioning autism. We are about to be approved by the state for the " foster to adopt " program. Look forward to chatting with anyone also going through that process!

 Hello ladies!  My name is Kate.  My partner and I have a four year old little girl that we adopted in March after being her foster mamas for two years.  We also have a 13 month old little boy that we've had from birth that we are hoping to adopt very soon!

Looking forward to meeting some other adoptive moms on here!

Hi friends....  My husband and I have 1 bio son and are home study ready to adopt our next baby - boy or girl, don't have a pref - hopefully sometime soon.  We have been officially waiting for about a month.  Our son Isaac will be 2 next month and keeps us busy! :)  Blessings to you all, friends!

Hi!  Have you checked out Adoptomist.com?  You can create a free profile there and at least have some potential of meeting birth moms there.... I'm not connected to that site - actually haven't even created a profile there for our family yet although we're waiting also.... just have heard good things about it.

This might be a good thing to post in the general discussion. I don't think everyone reads the intro forum regularly, so you might get more response there. :-)

Hi! I'm Becky. My husband and I have just been homestudy approved, and we're pursuing independent adoption using a lawyer, but we're finding the match ourselves. Glad to be here!

Hi my name is Mandy I am not exactly an adoptive parent, but was thinking adoptive moms would be the best for support with the problem I am facing. I recently recieved a phone can from Child Protective Services this child being my niece. They are argueing with us and telling us we are out of options and our only choice is to assume guardianship of her. I am just having a lot of feelings that are hard to deal with being newly weds and trying to take on someone else's baby. I guess I am just in search of support. Hope to talk to everyone soon.
