We had a very good experience with AdoptHelp. They were within the quoted budget, and we were matched in about 2 months (more quickly than their average) and had no failed matches. I feel they were always ethical and took a conservative approach in making sure all legal aspects were handled...

Thank you for your offer, but we found her. Quite by accident really. We went through the Children's Home Society and they let her know we were looking and so she did a search on the internet under her name and found us. Thank God!

This is a very interesting thread and does make one think. Our first placement was a preemie that was born addicted. Her mom had a long history of drug abuse and we were told that she would have at least 6 months of rehab prior to RU. Instead baby went home after a month. I truly thought that...

We had an emergency placement of a set of three siblings and the four year old would spout information. His eight year old sister would tell me "he likes to tell stories" or "that one is true" depending on what he was saying. I think I probably drove the CW insane with my...

My husband and I have a blended family with 6 children. 4 of whom are here 50% of the time. We are very interested in adding a baby to our family. I was told that the state of California only allows 6 children to live in the home at a time. Therefore, we would not be able to adopt. We have the...

My husband and I have been raising our newly placed pre-adoptive kids for two months now- our son (age 11) and a daughter (age 10). They are our only children. Our daughter came with more psychiatric diagnoses that you can count on one hand; She had no honeymoon period at all, and had tantrums for...

I think this is one of the most frustrating things about the foster care system. Why, when they know that the children are going to end up right back in foster care, do they send them home??? We did not get our FD back, she went to grandma instead but when SW told us she would be going back to...
