If you have been in possession of children, you have been blessed. A few of the people don't feel that way, but as an adoptive parent who worked hard to become one, I know it is correct.
We adoptive parents seem to appreciate things that others bitch about. I am really not saying other parents do not but in my experience people who have worked so hard to become elders just seem to enjoy it more. Maybe it's the satisfaction of achieving and working for something the we really, really wanted and were not sure we were going to get. Do I really mind the paddies? Actually sometimes I even revel in them. Here is where I would have liked to be for so very long. (I've got a preteen and a preschool-aged girl. Their temper tantrums aren't that different fro one another.)
Lots of people have misunderstandings about adoption. They think it's always costly, really hard to do, and really dangerous. Not true. Dear, it can be, but there are a good number of options that are much less costly. In our experience, it costs in the region of the same as a new auto. Would you mind driving an old car if you can be toting around an attractive baby? Not hard to select when it's viewed that way. I know someone that adopted 5 children through the foster care system, at no finance expense. It truly depends on what you are ready and able to spend and how creative you are ready to be. There are tons of options.
So how dodgy is the process? A common belief is that there is a huge chance the infant's birth mummy will change her mind and keep the baby at the last minute. Yes, this does happen often. I know friends who had that occur. Was it annoying? Naturally. Did they try again? Naturally. Were they successful? Yep, you will always be successful if you don't give up. And there's a much higher chance (like 80%) that each adoption will be successful than not.
I have had folks say they are scared they will not love a child as much if he/she isn't a biological kid. That's not my experience or that of anyone I know, even chums who have adopted after having biological youngsters. The three people in this world who are my nearest family, my partner and 2 children, aren't related to me by blood and it does not make a little bit of difference to me. I adore them with my entire heart.
I have heard others are scared of being placed with a child who has medical or hereditary issues. In reality, there is a lot of choice in adoption. You can decide about a lot of things that you can't if you are pregnant , like risk indications and health condition. The adoption is not final till usually weeks or months after the baby is born. This doesn't definitely mean the birth mummy has all of that time to modify her mind; each state is dissimilar, but it customarily takes longer for all of the forms to be completed.
The way That I see it, there are risks to being pregnant, and it is not like you get to select what kind of baby you're going to have. We felt extremely hooked up to both of our girls while they were still in utero, and believe they were supposed to be with us. That has been the experience of all the adoptive folks I know.
The media makes adoption appear so scary because they like to sensationalize everything and target the bad stories. So that the one family in the entire country who has a very unpleasant experience will be on the news, while the thousands who don't won't be reported. If all you do is hear the media, you'll be scared to do anything.
I recollect being frightened, thinking it was never going to occur, being upset about the money, and feeling floored by the procedure. But adoptions are similar to anything else worthwhile: they take dedication and work, and yes, some risk. If you do what the solicitor or agency tells you, one day at a time, the very best you can, and never give up, you'll be rewarded, sooner or later, by a kid who will capture your heart and improve your life forever.
Is there any other process that yields a better reward? I don't think so.
