Adoption Support Group
Adoption is the legal act of permanently placing a child with a parent or parents other than the birth parents. Whether you are looking to adopt, putting your child up for adoption, parenting an adopted child, or just thinking about it, this is the place to discuss.
I am a mum of 3 and married and would desperately love to adopt. I am making a choice not to have more children of my own as I suffer severe post natal depression when I have babies but am desperate to have two more children preferably siblings as i feel they might be happier together but have no experience of adoption and no idea of where to start. I'm from the uk does anyone have any advice or info the could pass on or their own expereinces as children or adoptive parents. I have so much love to give and really can't bear to not have a bigger family. Thank you.

I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
