Just wondering if anyone here had adopted or is going through the process. me and hubbie have decided this is the way forward for us but are a bit nervous about what to expect.

I adpoted, but it was within family so the procedure was a little different. Going though Child Protective Services is a faster, less expensive way. These children are in huge need.

i am currently goin thru the process.just started.adoptuskids.com is a good place to get an idea of how many kids are in need of homes.contact ur local children services and talk to the adoption specialist.they will answer whatever you need to know.this is less expensive and you will get support from them while in the placing phase.this is where the kids are placed in your home before the adoption is final.you will need to get a homestudy done and the adoption worker will give you details about that and you will have to attend several trainings.i have just begun the search.i have put alot of interest forms out there and have come up with alot of kids already matched or i wasn't chosen as a match.it gets discouraging at times but i try to keep the faith. good luck on your quest,hope this was helpful

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...
