I Admire People Who Adopt Children

Just to randomly give a back story. My aunt and uncle used to foster kids and hearing their stories really made me want to get in to it. I remember when some of them would meet everyone around Christmas or a Birthday they’d feel uncomfortable and it made me sad... 9 year old me would always try to make them feel as welcomed and comfortable I stood by them and played with them so they could adjust a little. I hope now they are all doing okay

The requirements will vary, based upon your location and the type of adoption that you are pursuing (foster/adopt, agency, independent). One of the biggest things to consider is your life situation... Are you able to take a child (newborn, or older) into your family and have enough time/energy to care for them? We adopted many children... all adults now. I wish you the best.
