Adoption Support 🇺🇸

I’m a young, single adoptive mama who made the decision to take in a baby on my own and while I wouldn’t trade it for the world, there are moments when it weighs on my heart. Sometimes I wonder if I was being selfish… knowing he might grow up without a father. Maybe one day that’ll change, but love hasn’t come easy for me.

He’s only 8 months old right now, so he doesn’t understand any of it yet. But I think about the future, about Father’s Day, or those little “Dad’s Day” events at school and it tugs at me. I just hope he always knows how deeply he is loved, and that even if it’s just me for now, he will never feel like he’s missing anything.

Hi guys! I am 22 years old & fostering a 3 month old baby boy! Parents' rights were just taken away & i can now move forward with the adoption process! I informed my landlord & she is saying that since he is not on the lease i need to tell DHS to find another placement for him and that I have back rent due for the time of him being there? He is 3 months old so I'm not sure why this is an issue? She also stated that if i do not find a placement for him i have 30 days to vacate. This is illegal right?🥺 I am NOT giving up my baby.

Okay, I’m just curious how others have handled this. Is it normal to feel some imposter syndrome around the mom title. For background my little man is speech delayed and not saying mama yet. Adoption is not finalized yet. Petition filed awaiting court date. But even when other people (ie. nurse, therapist or passers-by etc.) call me momma I feel a little uncomfortable with letting people believe I gave birth to him. Is that weird? Or do we all feel this way sometimes? And does it pass?

Hi friends. My husband and I have decided to start the journey to adopt a newborn. With 3 failed IUIs, 3 retrievals, and 5 unsuccessful transfers, we are ready to move on to something different. Have any of you applied for any grants or loans that helped with the financial aspects of adopting? If so, from where? Any advice you have would be appreciated. We already know we want to work with Angel Adoption.

Hello, I am Megan. My husband and I adopted 2 years ago. Our adoption story is very unique. Looking for some more friends to have more support. Thanks!
