I'm very sorry to hear of your struggle. Perhaps God is yet to bless you with a child, as he is waiting for the perfect little one for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you that you soon recieve some good news. Best wishes to you and your family. xx

OMG, What agency are you using. 4years is too long. Maybe you should look into a different agency.

Do you want a Caucasian baby or are you open to a biracial or african-american baby or any other ethnicities?

it took my parents several years...before they adopted me...they were both 39...i believe everything happens for a reason

Keep the faith, I can tell you without question that our faith and trust in God (whether he chose to bless us or not with an adoption) was the key to our situation. We adopted older children, our first was 11 and is now 14 and our recent additions, ages 10, 8 and 5 all happened in about 4 years total. We were very diligent to in our search (though it does take time and effort on your part, not just relying on an agency) and had to be focused on adopting cildren that we felt would fit best with our one birth child.

Today we are blessed with our family of 5, ages 14, 11, 9, 8 and 6....

Keep the faith

Wow where to start. four years ago we were contaced by a family member about a child,but we found out the child had fetal alcahol syndrom so we decided not to adopt him. So we stayed on the list threw the state child and family services. So now it has been four years. Still nothing. We came close with a sibling group and a uncle came forward at the last min. It took me three months for my heart to heal from that. So we are still with the state dept. Most agencies give no promises on how long and now I am scared to start over at this time.
We are open to all races. We would love any child only the fact that the town we live in is not to racial deversified. So Biracial or Native American would be ok too. I am part Native American. But we are pretty open to situations. We just want more children to love.
I can't thank you all enough for your kind words. I just don't know where to go from here. God Bless ivorysoul

Seems like you are in a very small town and it could take a very long time unless you go outside of your state and find an agency if you are financially open to a domestic adoption. That would cost you about $10,000.00 - the money would go towards the birthmothers healthcare throughout the pregnancy. Texas is a good state to adopt because their laws only give the birth mother 3 days to change her mind and take back the baby. Not 6 months like most states. Are you open to a new born baby or an infant? I don't think you should look at it as starting over. You should look at it as continuing your mission. Best wishes and God Speed!

Also, don't be overwhelmed by the cost. People have done fund raisers to get the money. They go to their church and the church help them rasie the money. You can get a loan from your bank or credit union if you have one.

have you thought about adopting an older child??? The wait for an older child is usually much shorter.
