Being a single mom is going to make adoption nearly impossible for you. And adopting from vietnam would be cheaper than adopting in the states..."Juno" almost ever ever happens, and even in that movie the couple still payed her medical expenses.

ps - Not trying to rain on your parade at all, heather...but realistically you're looking at a major undertaking.
yeah unless youre willing to go the route of adopting a special needs child You'd first have to become a licensed foster parent and then there are no guarantees you'd ever come across a infant female and caucasian (if that matters) or one whose parents lost their parental rights. Ive seen all too often foster parents get into it with the intention of adopting and they care for kids for years and have hope of making it permanent only for the useless parent to show up when word gets out that they may lose their rights.

yeah, you definitely dont want to go that route.....

Twice the joy, twice the cases of sniffles and everything else (when one gets sick the other does, plus they share the love with every adult within touching distance), twice the expense, twice the time, twice the energy, twice the activities fees, twice the daycare expenses and twice as many kids needing help with homework and projects.

This is a single parent with no reliable support system. Stop encouraging her!
she's a grown woman. i think she can make her own decisions. who are we (internet strangers) to tell her what she can and cant handle?

true that
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'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?

You can afford it or is your clock and mid-life crisis ticking and that's more improtant?
