The adoption process can be long and difficult for many people. Having a support system can make the whole journey easier and less stressful.
Deciding to become a foster parent is a large and difficult decision.
Parent-child relationships don’t stop at 18 years old. Adoption doesn’t need to either.
“I don’t know why we were put in this, but I know this is what we’re supposed to do. We need to stand in the gap.”
“We’ve enjoyed our life as a couple and we are excitedly anticipating being a family.”
“10 years, 9 kids, 1 grandson later, and I’m still fostering. This is not about me, my feelings, or my needs.”
“Society has moved forward, but old-school stereotypes remain ever so present.”
“My experience of being adopted has been an emotional roller coaster. I will always wonder where my birth family is, but in the end, I will always be thankful.”
“It’s messy, beautiful, and heartbreaking on all levels, and it is the identity I am proudest of.”
“If I had to go back and do it again, I wouldn’t change the lessons I’ve learned, the stress I’ve had, or the current uncertainty to make life easier.”
