How to adopt a daughter
It made me
Incredibly happy!!
 "We adopted a 10 year old girl from foster care!"
How I did it: I took a free class offered by the state of florida. It was 10 weeks long and sooo informitive! They came out and checked my home for hazards (aka, homestudy). They started offering us children...instantly. We made it clear that we wanted a girl about 8 years old (we had already experienced the baby thing many times). Within 1 month of finishing the classes, we had a child identified for us and after a very brief familiarizing period, she moved in. What a blessing!! Lessons & tips: Do not allow fear or procrastination stop you! Just sign up for your class, thats the hardest part! BTW, you'll love the class. It is amazing how fast the whole process is...and YES there are small children in the foster system, jsut not as many as older children. Just make your wants known and eventually they will have a match for your family! By the way, it costs NOTHING! Resources: Heartland for children (863) 519-8900

So happy!
How I did it: We got licensed as foster parents. When she was placed with us, we quickly realized we wanted her forever so we sent a letter to the judge, stating if she became adoptable, we wanted her. Even our other kids signed it. We went to every court hearing, applied for and received de facto parent status. We worked closely with all social workers involved and stayed on top of all paperwork. From the beginning, we we… Read how I did it…

Once I get out of college, I am adopting a teenage daughter. I want to give someone a second chance. Toddlers love me, and I love them back, but they get annoying. Teenagers are fun. Makeup, music, thelist goes on….
Baby Girl

I’ve always wanted to adopt a girl from either Korea, Taiwan or China. I once saw on TV some documentary about how Asian orphanages were overflowing because people didn’t want their girls, they only wanted boys. I thought it was particularly sad that it could happen and is probably still happening today.
