We are a Tennessee adoptive family in process of adopting again from China. We've just launched a free fundraising web tool, www.onehundredgoodwishes.com if you are interested in raising support for your adoption. We'd love for our site to help other Tennessee families build their families through adoption!

I need to reach Allison at Miriams Promise. Please, if someone from MP sees this message tonight, please have Allison call Cara/Jared asap. We need to reschedule.

We live in the Tri-Cities. We adopted one son domestically at birth in 2008 and we just adopted another son from China this past October. Our boys are 8 months apart in age.

We live in Knoxville and adopted our son in Jan. 2007 from China. He was five then. It has been an amazing journey. There were a few issues in the beginning but I would do it again in an instant! Our son truly is blessing, and he is the sweetest child I have ever known.

I was born in TN and adopted in TN but no longer live there. I'm currently going through the process of accessing my sealed birth records through the state. If anyone has questions about access to records in TN, feel free to ask!

Hi. I live in Knoxville and we adopted a 4 year old (through Omni Visions) a little over 3 years ago. What a joy. He was in foster care and fortunately he was available the same time that we finished our classes and all of the other "stuff". I feel so fortunate to have him and he has brought lots of happiness to complete our family (there were struggles, but most of the time, I can't remember them). I'd love to hear other adoptive parent's stories.

Cara, I live in Johnson City, which is about 90 miles east of Knoxville. So not really close to you, but we are in the process (actually just waiting) of newborn domestic adoption. We have been waiting now a little over 4 months. We are working with Harmony, a private lawyer, and searching on our own for a birth family.

Thus far we have had a few minor "leads," but nothing that has turned into a meeting or anything too exciting. So we wait!

What about you?

My name is Lauren Hunt and I am currently an intern with Miriam's Promise, a domestic and international adoption agency. If you're looking to volunteer or get involved, I would encourage you to follow us on facebook (facebook.com/miriamspromise) or twitter (twitter.com/miriamspromise). We have several fundraisers every years and are always in need of office volunteers or donations!
