Re: OT Kayla,wanting to adopt again.

Hi, Kayla,

YEAH I am not alone. Been looking at waiting children too...makes my heart just

ache.....but know I am not ready....need to heal myself and family more. Just

today talked to Bethany Christian Services (adoption agency) and am getting more

info on foster to adopt. Bubbles was adopted at birth...this time want an older

child. Do you think it is nuts to purposely adopt an autistic....KiKi and our

son have asd related problems but not officially " autistic " ...would this be bad

do you think? Are DAN doctors and this diet working with more serious cases?

....have read many promising testimonies.

Well, if wanting to adopt again is insanity, I've got it too! My

daughter's adopted and yet a few weeks ago I went searching through our

state's online " waiting child " list looking for 2 or 3 sibs...Fell in love

with a terribly skinny but smiling 7-year-old girl, her solemn two-year-old

brother, and their even more solemn one-year-old sister (medical problems

and possible developmental delay). Can't stop thinking about those kids!

But I've got to first my first kid first, before we can even consider

adopting again...

Antoinette and Kayla ,

Follow your heart. When we adopted our two I was 54 and my husband

was 68. Most people thought we were nuts. We didn't 'fight' to get

to keep them but we did make it known that we felt they belonged

with us. I then just kept encouraging our social worker to get it

completed as they needed to be with their forever family. I know

that God put them in our home and kept them there. It is a long

story but when ever things are going rough and I cry out to God with

being exausted, He reminds me that it was Him that placed these two

children in my heart and home and that He will see us through. He

is the One that has that hope and future for them.

I know a family that have adopted 4 or 5 Downs Syn. children. They

have I think 7 birth children also. They have had agencys out side

of their state contact them about a DS baby, wanting them to take

him.

Follow your heart. The time will be right and you and your husband

will know it.

Be blessed

Sandy M.

I understand your maternal desires, but time constraints, financial limitations

and your

desire to go back to school, the attention required by your family make this

sound very

ambitious.
