My husband and I have tried for 11 years to have a baby.We have done all the ferility testing,fertility drugs,fertility treatments,we have each had surgeries,done artificial insemination with no luck.I have one biological child that is 15 from a previous marriage but my husband has never had a baby of his own.We desperatley want to adopt a child/children.We are willing to adopt either sex,children with almost any disability or special need,and any race.We want a newborn we can bring home from the hospital preferably,but we are open to taking siblings as well(any age-birth to 18 years old).If there is anyone out there that has either is pregnant and considering adoption for the baby or has a child/children they are unable to care for please,please consider us.We are good,loving,christian people with a large,close knit family.We have a nice 7 bedroom home on 5 acres in a small town,we have lots of animals,and we love kids!!!We were foster parents for 7 years and we have cared for many children from all different backgrounds,different races,with many different special needs and disabilities.

What can I do next?

You should check out adoption on-line connection or AOC.com I believe. I went through this site when I was looking to relinquish my child for adoption. I chose an open adoption so that I could have contact with the child and she would have access to information about me. It's been 10 years and I can safely say it's the best thing I have ever done in my life. I am travelling to Vancouver in May to visit. This site was wonderful and the couple that adopted my Sabine had their profile listed for only 3 days :) Best of luck to you. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have.

I got this email from my MOPS group. Maybe it will help you.

I had a clergy meeting today, and a representative of the Methodist Mission Home in San Antonio was there. For those who don't know, the MMH is a residential facility for women with unwanted pregnancies. They can continue their education, get counseling, and get job experience, but they must put their babies up for adoption. Some of you want other children, but don't want to go through/can't go through another pregnancy, so I wanted to let you know about this. The representative said that there are four women who are giving birth at the end of the year, and they do not have adoptive parents for their babies. These babies are multi-racial. If you are thinking about adoption, be in prayer for the next few weeks about this. Those babies need parents who will love them, and the more brothers and sisters they have, the more love they will feel!!!!

get registered for adoption! There are so many children looking for homes, check out this website - http://adoptuskids.org/ You will also find it faster if you adopt multiples as they really try hard to keep siblings together and if you are able financially to do so, what a wonderful blessing it would be for you & them. Good luck!

Hey! Good luck on your adoption! My husband and I are also planning to adopt. I have a 13 year old son from first marriage, and we have two boys together- 3 and 11 months. I have always dreamed of having one of each- boy and girl. That just didn't happen so I have been praying about it for 3 years now. I feel that God is pointing me in the direction of adopting a little girl from China. I have been in contact with the wonderful people at All God's Children since I found out that the youngest was going to be another boy. They have been very supportive. I am currently going through references they have sent me. We are just praying about the timing right now. We have a nice home with an extra bedroom since my oldest lives with his dad, and 5 acres of land in the sticks. I am also a SAHM, fortunately God allows me to be able to do this. I just wanted to wish you luck and let you know that someone else is in a similar situation. Have you looked at the foster kid websites for each state? Every once in a while I find a sibling group that really tugs at my heart strings. If we only had more money and more bedrooms.....

Where ever you live there is dyer need for foster/adoptive parents through DHS. COntact your local DHS office and ask the how you would go about becoming foster/adoptive parents. You don't necessarily have to be a foster parents but it comes in a bundle. However, that is a chance to help the children that need it most and open a door for a possible placement in your home for good. I adopted my daughter she came to us at 14 months and now she is almost 8 yrs old. She is the love of our lives. THen last year we adopted a newborn that was a private adoption and we just got blessed he sorta fell in our lives. But he's here to stay and we are one big happy family. I hope you can feel the love and happiness we have soon as well.
Good luck in your venture.

Have you thought of a surogate? your eggs, his soldiers, someone elses oven? maybe that would work. I'm not in your situation, so unfortunately I don't have many ideas, but I will definately pray for you, and If I hear of anyone looking to put up a child for adoption I will e-mail you. I'm hoping that you'll get what you want in the end, there are so many children out there who are unwanted and need good homes with parents to love them. It really breaks my heart that there are people out there who have child after child after child and they get abused or neglected because the parents don't want them, and then there are people like you, who try hard and want children desperately and can't have them...it's just not right...I'm praying for you, keep the faith hon, GOD may have closed that door for you, but he's opened a window somewhere, you just need to find it...

Have you ever considered a surrogate mother? Is this even a possibility in your situation? I, myself, have thought of being a surrogate mother. Everyone around me says that I am crazy for wanting to do something like that. I have two children and my heart goes out to couples like you. I can't imagine what it must be like. It just seems like having a surrogate mother would be the next best thing to having one on your own. I'll keep you in my prayers. God Bless.

I don't know where you live. This may be too far for you, but there is a home in Waxahachie, Tx (approx. 30 miles south of Dallas) that could probably help you. My husband used to work there and my parents have been foster parents for years there. It's a wonderful place that also handles adoption. If you need more info, I would be glad to get it to you.
