I find the process of adoption frustrating. There are so many children who need loving homes, why are there so many obstacles for parents who want to provide a loving home for children?
Examples:
1) I found a "cheap" non profit open adoption company that starts their fees at $28,000 ( no, I did not misplace that comma) ha! $28,000?!? How could I afford to support after paying that amount?
2) Foster to adopt, you wait 1-2 years to get placed, then maybe have to give the child back.
3) International adoption...expensive, and unrealistic for us. We would really like to help people in our own backyard.
Soooo, now I'm ready to get creative. Go to the boarder and take one of the 50,000 children that our government doesn't know what do do with? Start a social media campaign? Anyone have a good / creative idea? We are open to suggestion!
My Husband mentioned this yesterday, we need to go to the boarder and bring home some of those kids the government doesn't know what to do with.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had suggestions for you to bring home you baby. ((Hugs))

I know this is probably not the right spot to bring this up but I want you to know your not alone out here with this. Growing up my best friend in high school was a congenital twin. Her sister developed normally but she did not. We found out our junior year she had the same disorder as you. I sat with her when she found out she would never have kids,and when she had the reconstructive surgery as she was born without a vaginal also. I must commend you for your blog and once I locate her I will forward this to her also.
