adopting through foster care
I adopted through foster care in British Columbia Canada. It is a roller coaster experience, and while I was in it I questioned my follow through often, but now.... I am mom to two beautiful amazing…

I love to record and capture my boys' lives post adoption, but am also working on their books for before their forever family. I found this excellent idea for a backwards lifebook which I see as bein…

Oh, and we are now on the http://galleries.thefirstglimpse.com/ website - so you can see my announcements there. I get all tingly when I see them.
I wanted to let you all know about a woman on the net that I used for our adoption announcements. http://galleries.thefirstglimpse.com/ Alicia did such an amazing job of our announcements. they are keepsakes by us and all that received them. If you…
I was just looking at some of the previous posts and am shocked at the experiences of broken placements. Do your states allow children to be placed without first becoming wards of the court.... in British Columbia they don`t place a child for adopti…
I`ve said it in here before too... get in shape. Lift weights, focus on core strength, back, shoulders! I hurt both shoulders with my little ones when they were first home and I was a very very very strong healthy body builder. But you lift kids dif…
Mary Adair, I feel bad for you. I've been away from here for a while and see that the site has almost dried up. I adopted in Canada so no help in your reassurance for China, but I wanted to say that like all adoptions it is such a crazy time. it is…
Rob and I adopted first from Foster care and then were chosen for our second. Both boys came when they were almost 2 and we were 42 and 47.... there is a family for every child.
Hey congragulations to the new parents! Both beautiful children with lucky parents.
Hi Deering, welcome. Somewhere in the pluthera of sub groups here is one about sharing tips, etc. That would be a good place to get you started and of course ask away with regard to the process, etc., someone will be able to help. Wishing you a grea…
Dawn, wow that is a lot to do in such a quick time. My hubby and I barely had the ink dry on our home study and there was a line up to get us to consider children for adoption. I am aboriginal and so as a family we were very sought after as there ar…
There are so many groups here on Adoption voices. I think it's wonderful that no matter how adoption touches our lives, we can connect with someone, somehow who are also touched by it. I am mother to two boys, adopted as toddlers, in British Columbi…
A group for all those touched by adoption in Canada. (Those who have placed for adoption, are hoping to adopt, or have adopted...)
I completely agree with regression. Eugi was always old for his age in terms of his cognition. He's still ahead of the curve, but if he gets an "owie" or is even a little over tired, I have a 1.5 year old on my hands and not a 3.5 year old. Richard…
Regression. It's a good thing. Assume your child's emotional age clock started the day you met them, no matter how old they are. My dd, adopted from China at 2.5 with from a very good institution run by a mission society, had minimal delays and was…
And read TO them - it's a perfect opportunity to have them sit on your lap or snuggle up under your arm. For kids still attaching, it's less anxiety provoking than direct eye contact. For kids still learning English, forget narrative books, that's j…
Good morning, what am I doing here this close to Christmas and a 3rd birthday to get ready for and a trip to Mexico to get ready for? Well I needed a little me time and a few minutes reading other peoples wonderful stories with my coffee sounded lik…
