I would like another baby...

[heatherrae]

I've been thinking that my little family is not yet complete and would like another baby. Being that I'm not in a relationship and will be 39 in March, I'm thinking of adopting a baby girl. I've been praying for God to give me a sign and to bring a baby who needs me into my life. We will see.

Anyone here adopted or have adopted children? What are your experiences?

pick up some random hitchhiker dude, like in the hart song all i wanna do is make love to you

Neither, but we are going to try and get pregnant when I go home for leave. I can't wait to be a father.

good luck with that. my sister goes nuts with her 3 year old and 5 year old boys...and she has full time help + stays at home.

not because of lack of parenting. shes a great mom. just having 2 kids so close in age is gonan be taxing especially for a single mom that has to work

you're gonna hate life when they start walking and talking back

 

[calveless wonder]

and adoption is actually a big business now. alot more expensive than you'd think

insane premise if you think about it

yeah, that has crossed my mind. However, I feel like I would like a little girl somewhat close in age to him so that they can play together and be close and so that I still don't have kids in HS when I'm 95...lol.

Yeah, that is why I would like to go with a situation that has nothing to do with an agency, etc. I could do the legal side of it myself if I found a teen mom who needed help and just wanted to give up her parental rights or some situation like that.

Wait 3 more yrs so you only have one in college at a time. Go to Vietnam - babies there are poor and smart. Girls look cute in pigtails. You will be just like Brangelina - sans Brad

like i said, good luck with that. when they start getting jealous and smacking each over the head everyday, you're gonna be thinking differently.
i love my nephews, but one of them is a pure terror sometimes.

hes the smartest kid i have ever seen....too smart. hes a master manipulator
and hes only 3

you have no idea how the genetics of an adopted child will work it.

seriously, you're crazy if you do this. even if devin is a doll (you still have no idea what he'll be like when he's older), you're gambling that the other one will be too.

yep
