"You can be married or single, straight or gay, rich or not rich, healthy or disabled, but in some instances, you can't be overweight. Resources and information for all hopeful adoptive parents of all ages and circumstances."

That right there is why I started the group Alternative Family Adoption. It is a group made for families who are "different" yet still perfect the way they are.

  • Gay?
  • Single?
  • Pagan?
  • Straight?
  • Christian?

You all can join. This is a group meant to support, give information, and even rant about your struggles.

The rules of the game:

  • No drama! I dont' want people going into the group posting scriptures, talking about ripping babies out of women's arms, or even ranting about how adoption ruins kids. I don't want to see that. If I see that you are out with no warnings. That isn't supporting that is bullying.
  • No religious bashing... not everyone is going to believe in the same thing but please try to be civil. If you have nothing nice to say talk about the weather.
  • No bashing the lifestyle the group member has. Not everyone is straight and not everyone is gay.
  • If you are going through the adoption process please blog about it for the other members to see.

Please light candles, pray, meditate, sing, and anything in your religion to bring good luck to an adopting family.

And if you have pictures please share them.

Alternative Family Adoption - Come in and get started on your journey.
