Hope for Struggling Parents

In my next segment on adoption. I will discuss the possible solutions to adoptive parents who have adopted children with real problems.

Adoption

Adoption is, in my opinion, a potential for great joy. It opens the possibility for people to be open to loving someone who is not directly linked to them by DNA. However, on the other end of this option is the possibility that the child you hope to adopt is indeed mentally and emotionally challenged. If you have adopted a child from the state in which you live, I would recommend that you have the child tested at a very early age to ascertain if there is indeed the possibility of problems for the child's development and your families dynamic.

Adoption 101

The emergency placement gave us the option to be more selective in having children in our home. We also did not jump at the chance at having a particular child in our home, even though we would love to have them all. We also communicated with the county and set up a stringent criteria for what we were looking for. This gave us more time to think about which child we would like in our home.

Adoption

Adoption of children from the state or county should be approached with great care, especially if you have children of your own. If I knew then what I know today, we probably would not have adopted the children in our home. The issues of their lives are affecting everyone who is in contact with them everyday.
