Wanting to Adopt.......

[mysa]

 
                      A little bit of my story.....our story (my husband and myself)
       Since I remember I always wanted to have a lots of kids. When I was 17 years old,( young and restless), always talk about the same thing, with my cousins, friends and to my parents.
First, I dedicate myself on getting a good education, I wanted to be a professional, a good role model for my kids.
     After graduating from high school at 16 head right away to the university, couple of years later end up with my major in School Psychology (always wanted to be surrounded by kids).
My first job, as a young adult (I was 21) can't be in any other place than a school. YES, a pre-school. I was a Montessori Guide...
Later on, a larger school, I was a Kindergarten teacher.
Meanwhile, still thinking about having my own children. Years passed and nothing happen, NO children.
After, trying fertility treatments, 9 IUI's no luck.
Then I focused myself on getting my Master Degree, which I got  it  from Salamanca University (Spain). And still childless.....
NOW, we (my husband Manny and myself), have decided for adoption....to suddenly realize that it's harder than we ever thought!
Agency FEES are scary, they really are!! (Booo)
We, deeply, in our hearts, still have hope for a "birth-mother" to contact us thru this wonderful and supportive website.
We're open to an OPEN(sorry about the redundancy) adoption and any gender.
We are fully bilinguals, Spanish and English, for sure the baby will speak both fluently and also French (my mom is a French teacher). We enjoy classical music, Irish music as well as country music.
       The baby will have a very large family, all over the world (lol), seriously, we're talking about Dominican Republic, México, Italy, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Texas, Las Vegas and of course here in Ga. and where ever his/her "birth-mom" is at.
We are willing to invite the "birthmom" to our family, to help us out picking out name, and set up the nursery. All her hobbies and interests will be delivered on his/her daily life.
We're willing to meet with "birth-mom" as many times as possible (we would go to the birth-mom OR she will be more than welcome to come to us).
The baby will be encouraged to learn how to play piano (my mom is a piano teacher, too)
Will have 4 grandparents close to him/her, as well as, uncles, aunties, cousins and even a dog.
Ah!!??! Have I mentioned that I am a teacher?? Elementary teacher, currently working for a Public Schools System in Georgia. My husband is an Admissions Officer in a College.
We are a very close family, like getting together every weekend, calling each other everyday (several calls); we are not perfect though.....of course we have our ups 'n' downs...lol  Everybody does....right?
Well, I guess that a lot of reading for today.....I would like to finish giving THANKS to everyone reading this post, even if you reply or not, but just by reading it will place me in your thoughts and prayers. Same way everyone here is on my thoughts and prayers.


Still have hope to be contacted by an "expectant mother considering adoption"......

   Hi "CafeMom Admin"!! Thanks for the warm welcome! I am really amazed by this website. The funny part is that I found it by chance. I was browsing the internet about sites related to child adoption and saw this name and some kind of a force made me to click and here I am!!
I already have received my first flower and everything, so excited!

Talk to you later....

 Welcome!!  I wish you only the best on adopting!  I  adopted my son 3 years ago it was a private adoption.  If you have any questions or just need a friend I am here.  I know the heartache of wanitng a child/children.  The only thing that got me through was my faith in God and many, many years of prayers!!

    Ms.Kellyjude1, thanks for your reply to my post. I do need the encouragement and any moral support possible. Time is passing by and I am not getting any younger. I am really concern (should say worry) about my age and the possibility of being turn down due to my age.
Anway, let's see what the future will bring us all!!

Hugs....

Just thought I would come show you some love since you have sent me so many words of encouragement! I look forward to getting to know you!! I wanted to let you know that my sister is also pregnant .. and she is choosing to give her baby!  Maybe I could give her your contact information!  She is currently incarcerated, but if that is not a problem, maybe I could find a way for you to get in contact with her.
