I am hoping to find other residents on the Treasure or Space Coast who are either in the adoption process or who have adopted and are interested in forming a support group. I have looked, but cannot find anything in this area. I live right by the Indian River / Saint Lucie County line, but also visit Brevard County often. If you are interested, please let me know!
Thanks!
Casey

Hi, Stacy! Welcome to the adoption rollercoaster! I don't know how to answer your question about adoption being hard, since I don't know what kind of adoption you are considering. My husband and I are trying to adopt domestically and the journey so far hasn't been easy. We have had two birthmom's change their mind, one after having a precious baby boy in our arms for three days. We have also gotten involved with an emotional scam artist. Admittedly, we made many mistakes along the way that have set us back both financially and emotionally. This website has been a tremendous source of information for us. I truly wish that I would have gotten more involved in the forums earlier in our journey, it would have helped so much! Please feel free to pm me if you want to chat!
I wish you well,
Casey
Hi, Celebrate!! Fortunately we are done with the homestudy and are very happy with current facilitator.
We are actually in the process now of moving to SC. Hopefully some others will come along that you can meet up with!! I didn't have much luck finding anyone though!
I wish you well on your adoption!

My family & I will be moving from California to Brevard County, FL in June!!! It's a Military move so I don't know how long we'll be there, but at least a couple years I should think. It would be wonderful to get to know some people from the area that have been through similar experiences etc. when it comes to foster care/adoption.
Well, welcome to Brevard County! Where will you be? You mentioned military, will you be near/at Patrick Air Force Base?
Shoot me a PM and I will send you my email.
The very first person I met when we moved here 6 yeras ago was someone I had "met" here - and we have stayed great friends since.
Good Luck to you. This is a beautiful part of Florida!
yes, mystik, welcome (early)! my 1 and only is 3yr old and loves the parks around our county! i am minutes from PAFB now. billy'smom, i still need to meet up with you. i've been very busy with family stuff over the last 6 months or so, but now that will end and i'll be home more. i think i still have your email somewhere!!

Thanks so much for the warm welcomes! We can't wait to get there, but it's all pretty scary too. We've been stationed here in CA since we were married 5 years ago, this was our first base so this will be our first BIG & official military move. Yes, we're going to be at Patrick.
We are currently pretty overwhelmed with all that's entailed by getting ready to make the big move... and with kids!! We'll be driving out there, which I'm sure will be quite interesting with 2 toddlers, 2 dogs, 2 birds & 2 vehicles! I'm sure it will all be very worth it once we make it safe & sound & get settled in.
I'll go ahead & PM you both with my email & anyone else in the area who might like to touch base is welcome to PM me for an email too.
