Has Anyone Had Experiences with the Foster to Adoption Program?

Hi Ladies, My husband and I are thinking about doing the foster to adoption program and are wondering if any of you have had experiences with the program - good, challenging, etc. We just would like a realistic picture of what we may encounter. We have two children 4 and 2 and would like a 3rd, but he or she does not need to be our biological child to complete our family. Plus we like that we will be giving a child opportunities he or she may otherwise not have growing up. Thank you ahead of time for your responses.

Is This Weird? How to Handle This? Any Adopting/adopted Moms Out There.

My sister in law called me today and asked if I thought it would be weird to throw her a baby shower when she was not expecting. She has been trying fertility treatments for a long time and I guess she has just given up and they are going to try adoption. She said that it was recommended to her to have a baby shower asap so she would have all she needed before the homestudy so she is more likely to be approved. I am all for giving her a shower but it does seem weird to me to have a shower before she is even approved... what if they are not...

I Desperately Need Advice on How to Move My Toddlers into There Own Room...

Our 1 1/2 year old and 2 1/2 year old are still sleeping in our bedroom. I got pregnant when my son was only 5 months old, so he stayed upstairs w/ us longer than we intended. Now we have two toddlers sleeping upstairs with us. When either baby would cry I would bring them into the bed w/ me so they didn't wake the other one... and in doing so created two little monsters (whom I adore)! It has gotten way out of hand. They were both sleeping in the bed w/ me for awhile, but that didn't work for obvious reasons. My husband now sleeps on the...

What Was Your "Push" Present?

I know it's not standard with everyone but it seems to be becoming more popular for the father of the baby to present a "push" present to the mother of the baby for all the hard work she did throughout her pregnancy and labor. I think it's a great idea :) Anyway, my sister is due in 4 weeks and her husband is looking for ideas for a great push present. This will likely be her last of three kids so something sentimental would be great. Any suggestions? Thanks
