Just Wondering If There Are Other Adoptive Families Out There

My husband and I have been waiting for a year now to wait for that call, but nothing yet. We're wondering if its our agency.

We had an open adoption fall through almost 2 years ago but we remain very good contact with the family. We're the babys godparents and see them often.

Its so hard playing the waiting game with CPS.

Hello! My name is T. and we have 3 1/2 year old Lliam who is adopted. We also have two biological children who are 4 and six both girls. Our adoption is closed at the birth parents request.

Hi J.,
My husband and I adopted out son at birth and have an open adoption with his birthmom. At first I was scared to death to keep the adoption open but once we met her I fell in love and would not have it any other way. Our son writes Dear TummyMommy letters every few weeks and sends her pictures of all his new accomplishments (he is 16 months old BTW). It has made her happy and settled in her wonderful choice of adoption. She has had a rocky road and often falls off the map but she tries hard to keep in touch and we are hoping to meet up with her again next time we are in Oklahoma!

Hi, We have six children, two of them we adopted through the foster care system in our state.(UT) It has been a wonderful way to expand our family. We have a semi open adotion with our 3 year old sons birth family and no contact with our 1 year olds birth family. (their choice)

Great post!! Hi J., yes~my husband have 4 adopted children, out of foster care. More like they adopted us:) They are 2 bio sibling groups and we have maintained communication through relatives of one of our sib groups.
We are new to Tucson and mamasource as well!!! H.

J....I am a birth mother. My daughter and I were reunited when she was 16 and a half. She lost her adoptive father six weeks after we were reunited and her adoptive mother lost her battle with cancer a years after her adoptive father died. I am so thankful for parents like you that love big enough to love all children...Her adoptive family opened their hearts to me as well.
I have two beautiful grandchildren from her, a boy and a girl.
Please let me know if you need anything.
God Bless

I do not have a child that is adopted, but I am/was adopted I am now 24 and have an open relationship with my birth mother. My daughter is 18 months old.

Hi, my name is A.. We have a 14 month old son who we adopted from Korea in Feb. We actually just finalized his adoption today! We're about 15 miles west of Phoenix. I'm always looking for other adoptive families to talk with too.

Hi J.,

My husband and I are in the process of adopting a 1 year old little girl. We have been her foster parents since she was eight months. We have some info about her bio mom, but bio dad is unknown. And bio mom has disappeared. We are collecting as much info now about her bio family for the future. That way when and if she decides to find/have a relationship with her bio family we can hopefully help her find them.

If you don't mind me asking, did you adopt through private adoption? I'd love to hear about your experiences, especially in maintaining healthy relationships with the bio family. And how the children emotionally are handling it all.

Hello J.,
I am the single adoptive mother of a beautiful little girl who turned 6 this week. I adopted through Denver County, and although the birth mother is deceased, I did connect with the parents who adopted 2 of her siblings. We don't live that close, but have a wonderful relationship.

I know of some support groups if you need any information. I am interested in starting a babysitting co-op in the Wash Park area of Denver.

Thanks

We have a 2yr old adopted daughter but she is internationally adopted from China. We have had her for almost a year.

It is so good to find all of you. My husband and I have been down a long road to adoption and we are finally completing the classes and hoping to meet our children in a couple of months. We are adopting through Adams County in Denver. So far, all has gone well, so there is no reason to think that the adoption will be anything but a success. We already have two biological children 5 and 2, but we just know that our family was meant to include more children.

Any and all of you that live in the Denver area please email and we can meet.
