I want to adopt a baby girl?

YAY! I am also looking to adopt a baby, would like a son, but wouldnt turn down either sex or twins. I have a girl biologically and adopted an older girl. But I still want a baby, my husband and I have tried for years to have a baby with no luck, last night I miscarried and I have had several in previos years. People that dont understand what we go though or the way foster to adopt works or the adoption agencies will bash you one here, dont listen to them, continue your search. You can try the foster system but you have to put money and time into getting your licensed and then wait years to be matched, we did this and were told the chances of getting a baby were zero to none. Adoption agencies will charge you 10s of thousands of dollars to adopt. If you find a way that works let me know, as Im also looking for a way. Good luck!

Adopt through foster care. That costs $0-$1000.

If you specifically want a -baby- girl, because you're not satisfied with the two children nature's blessed you with, then be prepared to pay through the nose. Babies are a luxury commodity and they're not sold cheaply.

If age isn't as much of a factor and you just want to offer a loving home to a child genuinely in need, then please consider adopting from foster care.

Very hard to get a girl through adoption. Girls are very few to the boys in the system. Best way is to get a home study and get licensed. But the process is long and hard. Another hard thing is not having any experience in foster children. Even with your own kids they don't call it experience. Your children can't be around the same age as the child you are taking in either. They frown upon that. I wish you luck. If you have any questions you can contact my wife beautifulgirl which commented earlier or I.

some thing you could save constantly is a incredible present. infants enhance out of their outfits so at as quickly as so some thing you supplies it incredibly is custom and unique is a incredible thought and that they are going to constantly think of of you while they use it and so on. it may in all hazard be nicer to offer them some thing in guy or woman too, than only quit a modern card that they might desire to flow to the shop to apply and address the parking and crowds with infants. under are some web pages it incredibly is nice to to envision out that have presents appropriate for persons around $one hundred:

Through your state's foster care system. It's close to free, plus they're already born so you can specify a girl.You might wait a long time, since there aren't a lot of babies available.

Why a girl? Is it because you want her to do girly stuff? Sorry love, but while you might be able to get away with it with much of the female population, we don't all turn out like that - I be a case in point. I describe as medically female, because my body is, and there's no point in messing about with what ain't actually broke. I've never been a little girl though.

I'm also one of them "bitter adoptees" that people like to rant about. I actually love my afam very much, and it's because they are such a fantastic family that knowing that I didn't know *any* of that about myself hurt so much. So I give you warning; as an AP, you're never gonna be able to win. Even if you're good, you can still lose.

I was abandoned to adoption at 7mths old, and would like to give you a word of caution - not to put you off being willing to help a child who honestly and truly needs help, but to make you aware that adoption isn't always the rainbow farting unicorns as depicted in the media.

Please be prepared for the fact that any kid you adopt could grow up to be as screwed up as me. I didn't have a bad adoption - my afamily are the best I could ever have chosen... but if I'd been able to choose, I'd've chosen to be aborted before birth instead, 'cause at least that way the lifetime of agony I've gone through would've been over in minutes, instead of the decades I've been suffering for now.

I've been in reunion with my bfam for a while now, and even that's proving to be completely agonising.

For the adoptee every day is a challenge of trying to figure out how to be, although he probably doesn't understand the difficulty this presents for him. It has been true his whole life and, therefore, feels normal. However, it takes a great deal of energy and concentration. And it never feels quite right. He never quite fits. Therefore he feels as if /he/ is never quite right.

Abandonment and neglect are reported to be the two most devastating experiences that children endure - even more devastating then sexual or physical abuse. That's why some neglected children do naughty things to get attention. Even though the attention is hurtful - being yelled at, hit, or otherwise harmed - it is better than neglect. /Anything/ is better than abandonment. Abandonment is a child's greatest fear. For adoptees, it is also reality, embedded in their implicit and unintegrated memory.

(pg 102)

It is sometimes difficult to spot grief in children. After all, it isn't as if the child sits in a puddle of tears his entire childhood. As one adoptee said, "Of course I played, laughed, sang. Do people think that if you're not sitting in a corner with your head on your knees, you are not sad? I had happy times, but the sadness was always there, even when I was having fun."

Comprehend that lot, and you'll be about ready to adopt. :)

Unless you are very wealthy you won't qualify for an adoption anyway. If money is an issue then they will turn you down.
