Never Ask Why – Life With 6 Kids

11 Adoption here we come…

Posted on: July 31, 2009

So, Joe & I decided to go the adoption route.  But what kind of adoption?  My first thought was international adoption.  I really wanted a baby and I wanted it NOW!  But, then there is the cost and taking time off work.  And there are no guarantees.  We knew we would have to save up some money.  So, temporarily that is the goal.  Yes, temporarily was definately the correct word.  It wasn’t long before we started looking at domestic adoption.  But of course since we were in such a hurry we started considering a bit of an older child.  We got ourselves hooked up with an adoption agency and went through “the process” (you know – homestudy, paperwork, blah, blah, blah).  Then we started shopping for kids on the internet.  Have you ever heard of such an absurd idea?  In hindsight I can compare it to shopping for a used car.  They talk the kid up and make him sound wonderful but, don’t forget to look under the hood!

You passed a homestudy.

We passed a homestudy with no trouble that I can think of.
