Hoping To Adopt ( no bashing please)

[Wanttoadopt1117]

Well.... my husband and I have been trying to adopt independently now for a long time seems like forever. We choose to adopt independently b/c it cuts the cost by thousands of dollars. We have searched and searches with no luck. We did get a couple of scams that's about it. Its been a long journey in which I know will all be worth it in the end but just wondering if that will ever find us? Thanks for reading and please no bashing. May God Bless You

 We spent years trying to adopt.  Never imagining adoption would be so hard. We first went to our local social service department went to the meetings only to find there were no children under 5 for adoption.  It seems they were pushing us to do foster care.  Emotinally we did not feel we could take that risk of falling in love with a child only to have to let go. We did not have the thousands of dollars for domestic or international adoption.  I believed in my heart that if anyone knew how much we wanted to adopt God did.  I never gave up, even though as the years passed our chances lessened to adopt.  The pain and the hurt were sometimes unbelievable. Anyone who knew us, knew how much we wanted to adopt. We had situations come our way but unforutnately still no adoption.  I prayed all the time and kept my faith with God.  Then one day my mom called me and friends of hers, knew of a mom who wanted to talk with us about adoption.  Instantly my heart went out...thinking this just maybe our chance. We talked over the phone and then we met.  She went on to chose us as the adoptive parents!  That day the years of emotions came through I literally jumped for joy, and the tears came streaming down. Although with adoption there is always risk.  As much as you try you cannot ever protect your heart even from the years of being let down, you feel if there is a chance then you give your all. The day we held our little miracle we thought our hearts would jump out of us from the love we felt.  My son is now 4 and I still look at him with amazement, that this fianlly happened for us!  His birthmom is our angel and she will forever hold such a special place in our hearts!  Please don't give up keep the faith and the prayers.  Seeing our son's smiling face every morning is proof miracles can and do happen.  If you need a friend or someone to listen you can message me.  I have been where you are, and I thank God we were finally blessed by adoption.
