Cheapskate Sandy- I love all kids, so I would love to foster some older ones too.

I’m 31 now and have known since I was a teenager that I would take in a foster child that was not a baby since they are often chosen LAST ad adopt the child if possible. When it’s time for me to start a family that option is on the table.

jmanna- We haven’t yet but will have to research that. Those are fantastic tips! I think we need to do a little more research.

Have you looked at any programs your state might offer? A lot of states have programs where they will shoulder a lot of adoption costs and sometimes even provide a state allowance for the child’s first few years. If you have a religious affiliation, check with your church, shrine, whatever. There are lots of groups that help couples with the same beliefs adopt. Check to see if there’s a tax credit for such things.

We’re kicking around the idea of adopting… I don’t have any real desire to get pregnant, but we want kids. I say keep looking into it– there are tax credits and help from the state out there, and plenty of kids that need a mom.

Thanks! I would really like to have a bio child at some point in my life. I know that it will all work out somehow!

Chris- I’d also be saving so many CO2 emissions, right? I would love to foster kids in the US. I am excited to see what the future brings!
