Hi,
I wish you and your family the very best. I don't know about kinship adoption except that finding a good local lawyer who does adoptions and a good
social worker for your homestudy will be a starting point for you. I'm in Kansas, but there are lots of boardies from all over so if you have specific questions, I'm sure someone can help.
In the meantime - best wishes!

Praying that the best plan for the boys prevails! You are in a tough spot, I hope that everything works out. Fostering to adopt is full of
ups and downs, so I hope that get your forever family in the not to distant future :) Happy Thanksgiving!

I can't STAND Hoda and Kathie Lee, but it was worth sucking it up to watch that clip and hear Nia's
beautiful story. Thanks for sharing!

I am so excited for you. That is a
big step.
I was very hesitant to tell some family members about our intentions to adopt outside of our race. Everybody surprised me with how supportive they were. I guess when race impacts people directly, sometimes their attitudes towards it changes.
Good Luck

Thanks for the update, although I certainly wish it was better news. I know you were excited about this and being military adds an
extra challenge, but maybe this will still be in your future. Feel free to stick around our board and cheer others on and we're happy to support you as you continue your dr visits.

That's the spirit! Get that paperwork pulled together and that way you'll be ready when they finally get ready.

Oh how very frustrating. I think you have a better attitude than I would with your situation. We got
through the red tape stuff and currently have a placement we are hoping to adopt. There are happy stories out there, lots of them, but sometimes there are bumps in the road. It is really upsetting to know that you could be caring for a child and providing a stable, loving home right NOW if ...
