Hello everyone, I am new to the site. Just found it today. What a great site.
I am a divorced caucasian woman .(9 yrs now) I'm in the process of adopting 2 young African American boys ages 5 and 7. They should be place with me sometime next month.We have been doing weekend visits for the past month or so. I would love to chat with other people (male or female) in the same situation as myself. Thanks

Hi I am also a single Mom. I adopted my daughter almost 3 years ago. She was a newborn still in the hospital. I was able to be the one to go to the hospital and bring her home. She has and is the greatest joy in my life. Don't get me wrong at times it can be very hard to be a single parent. You soon understand that EVERY THING has to be done by you. This can become very over whelming. Hopefully you will have some support from family and friends. This will really help. Adopting my daughter is the best thing I have ever done.Good Luck

i am a single mom who is in the process of adopting my 2y/o foster son (he is biracial, aa/ca, and i am white) and i recently became the foster parent to his 1/2 sister. things are very stressful right now since we are all still getting used to each other and we are now moving as we have out grown our house. making sure you have reliable child care and friends and family to help out is a biggy. also finding a good pediatrician has been a life saver for me (my son has asthma). one of my biggest supports is a mini-support group some foster/adoptive parents in my area have started. the core group met through our children's day care and then each of us new a few other foster parents and the group now has about 10families in it and we meet every once in awhile to let the kids play and give us time to talk, but the most support i get from them is being able to call them on the phone or swap baby sitting. if you have any other questions, feel free to pm me. good luck!
