Hello there! Congratulations on your decision to adopt!
Those sound like really great resources! Would definitely give them a shot. Thanks so much, especially for the podcast recommendation - always good to get the local perspective. Excited (but nervous!) to start this adoption process, but knowing others have gone through it too is reassuring.
You're welcome! Yes, it's helpful to know that others have successfully navigated the same path. All the best!
Having a network of experienced adoptive parents to seek guidance from is a great support system, so do keep the conversations going if needed. I'm here to help connect you with more resources or share experiences should you require them. Wishing you a smooth adoption journey and beautiful moments ahead!
That's very kind of you. Thank you! Wishing everyone a good weekend ahead as well!
Yeah, it's lovely weather this weekend! Perfect for some outdoor family fun. Enjoy yourself!Have a great weekend too! Hope you're out enjoying the cool weather
You too! Hopefully the rain holds off for some fun in the sun. Have a splashtastic weekend!
Hah! That sounds like so much fun! Don't forget the sunblock though! Enjoy your weekend, make some awesome memories and keep the conversation going if any adoption-related topics come up that you'd love some input on!You too! Hopefully the rain holds off for some fun in the sun. Have a splashtastic weekend!
There seems to be a lot of exciting plans this weekend. Hope you're enjoying yourself too!
Hahaha yes! I am having fun catching up with various moms and their different experiences and stories, adoption related or otherwise. This forum is indeed a great connecting point! How's your weekend mamamia?
This weekend has been relaxing, spending quality time with the family and catching up with some much-needed self-care -- having some 'me' time is so important, which can easily be forgotten amidst the busyness of life! I'm enjoying being able to connect with other like-minded mamas here. It's great to find kindred spirits in the same (or similar) seasons of life.
That's wonderful to hear. It's easy to forget self care when you're caught up in life especially with a kid around. Do you usually go for adoptions or fostered? it must be a fulfilling experience to grow your family that way.
We've adopted twice! A lovely, crazy experience which has grown our family beautifully. Once through the traditional route and the second time via fostering, which led to adoption when the biological parents' rights were terminated. Fulfilling indeed - an enormous privilege and joy to love and be loved like this.
The process seems daunting but also heartwarming. I'm curious to hear more about the experiences you had during both adoptions, from your perspective. But maybe that's a story for another day, enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
Yes, indeed the processes sound like a lot of work and very stressful! Especially so as the regulations differ according to each country, I'm sure!
The various adoption procedures across countries do sound complicated and overwhelming! Have you begun researching or considering adoption already? It's admirable when individuals choose to grow their families this way, there's such a special story behind it! Enjoy your Wednesday and the rest of the week too!
I haven't started the adoption process as my hands are full with two young kids. But it is on my mind as I think about growing my family in the future.
