Hello my soon to be wifey and I are seriously considering adoption. We aren't sure how to start. Anyone who could help us that greatly appreciated.

Being a child of the foster system myself if you are adopting a foster kid you must be able to learn how to deal with a child that may have issues ,lots of foster kids have already had rough lives .Sometimes it just isn't a good fit and then you are locked in ,i would suggest try fostering for a while before full adoption.

@kodiac I understand that. We just want to help and maybe eventually have a family of our own with adopting and or insemination.

@MrsP15 I hope you do adopt there are so many kids waiting and for most it never happens.

@kodiac we really want to. I've always wanted kids since I was like 16 lol but it didn't happen. We want our own too maybe eventually but we are happy with fostering and adopting. I was always afraid of getting too attached because I have helped raise a lot of kids and have gotten really attached.

@MrsP15 I understand because i got attached to one of my foster families but i learned to not do that again .I hope it works out i think a kid would be lucky to get adopted by you
