It is easier to adopt if you are willing to take someone other than a newborn white baby.<br />My wife saw a Hispanic girl age 5, from California, needing to be adopted. She wanted to choose her, but the next day, the girl was already gone.<br />I told her that she needed to be patient, we had said that we would take up to 3 kids, and that the timing was just not right. The following day, yes, the very next day, she got a phone call, asking us if we wanted to meet the 2 little girls, who within 10 days would move into our house, never to leave as they would form our family. <br />The younger one is still here, the older one is living, shudder, in Oklahoma, working as a CNA for the OK city hospital. <br />Elmo, like you implied, you do not adopt a blank slate. The girls have a brother, a couple of years older, who we made sure they kept in touch with growing up. He was adopted by a man who was a dairy farmer, up north a bit. A very good man, he married a gal from the prosecutors office, and sold the farm and moved to the small county seat.<br />It was worth it, like every other part of life, but I would hate to go through some of the things again, just like with my 3 biological kids from my previous marriage.

It was rough going at first, but now she can't tell us she loves us enough. <br />When she first arrived in America she flipped off a guy out the window of the airplane as it was taxiing to the gate and then took flowers that I gave her and immediately threw them in the trash. Good times.Elmonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-60455854748724083892021-09-26T11:19:21.305-05:002021-09-26T11:19:21.305-05:00Special place in Heaven for those who adopt.
