Oh how wonderful!! I'm so excited for you, and will be following your journey closely (like an honorary aunt :lol: )! We may join you in a few years. The idea of adopting has always felt like a wonderful option for me, and for various reasons it is even more attractive now.

Big hugs :hugs:

Bethers,

I am so glad to hear a little bit of hope in your post. Nothing will ever replace your three angel babies, but I will be praying that God brings a new baby into your life for you to adopt and love.

Super big hugs,
Karen

Oh, how exciting! Have you decided on an adoption agency?!? Be sure to shop around and make sure that you understand what all the fees are for before signing anything, or giving them any money.

Oh, I hope you share step by step with us. I just love adoption stuff! I'm so glad to know that HGers are adopting.

congratulations. Adoption is such a wonderful way to grow a family. Growing up I was the only biological child in our neighborhood. Everyone else including my sister was adopted. They were all talking about where they came from, "I came from PA." "I came from MD" "I came from CT etc." Then they asked me where I came from. My mom said she came from my belly and everyone shouted eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww. :lol:

Hope all goes well with your adoption journey.
