I would like another baby...

[Stefka]

actually, I'm considering that too. I'm also considering telling devin that I had him via artificial insemination too. That way he won't feel like anyone abandoned him. That is too hard on a kid.

He'll be pissed when he finds out the truth though. His dad will probably show up when he' about 17 and want to make up for lost time. That would be a mess.

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?

I am adopted.

HR, are you a lawyer because you are naturally hard headed or are you hard headed because you ARE a lawyer.... just askin.

Only hard headed people become lawyers.
Oh, and being a smart ass is also a prerequisite.
As is liking to drink.

I'm always flaberghasted at how fast total strangers will jump at the chance to tell someone else how to live their life. especially when (let's face it) we've all got our own struggles so who are we to tell anyone else what to do - especially when that person is a stranger? unreal how easy it is for people to project their own unhappiness about the way their life turned out onto others. She didnt make this thread asking the members of EF whether she SHOULD or SHOULDNT consider adopting or having another baby, she asked if anyone here had any personal experiences with adoption. end

I still want her to have my baby instead.

My girls are 3 years apart and sometimes they drive me to take a xanex Omg they fight all day long. One always wants what the other has,etc. It drives me mad. I hope they still grow to love each other. Right now I am not so sure. lol

my sister and I are 11 months apart. My older sister is 4 yrs older.
My Mom said when we were kids, we fought all the time.
One time, in the car driving up to our country home, my Dad pulled over on the highway toll station, told us to get out (we were like 6 and 7 and 11) and he drove off. Left us there for 30 mins alone Then they came back.
Needless to say, we never acted up in the car again

The way parenting should be......haha!

No need for sugar coating...

I think I'm going to give the two I have away.

oh stop teasing me ;-)


HR, Marc has two kids. I'm not a great lover of kids and it took me a while to accept even being with Marc b/c of this fact.
You're not a young woman and if you meet or want to meet a man who's in his 40's, it's not going to be easy to find a relationship with a grown man who wants to be around babies.
Now having said that, if you want to focus on being a mom and love kids that much, then I would say adopt another child, not a baby, but a child.
There are a ton of kids out there who have no love and would love to be loved.
Babies get adopted, kids rarely do. They live in a system and get shuffled around endlessly.
If it's all about love and not a selfish desire, then adopt an older child.

Every adopted kid I know had something not right with them. Sorry but the ones I know are a strange bunch. One was arrested last halloween for burning a big fire in his back yard saying it was to keep the evil spirits away. Well, the police spirited him a way alright. LOL.

Have to realize kids put up for adoption in the US are usually the product of less than smart people. Sometimes crazy or addiction problems. Want to end up with a crack baby?

I hope Marc does not mind.........but he was adopted and he's the most upstanding person I know.

This is totally ridiculous!

true

i just know that i wouldnt take too kindly to peeps on an internet forum whom i dont even know, trying to tell me what i can and cant handle in my own personal life. especially people who are struggling with their own lives as it is, catch my drift? i guess its a pet peeve of mine when people insist on imposing themselves on others like that.
