Long story short. My house has been very quiet for quite some time and I gave my mother an idea of the past about adopting since she had a miscarriage ages ago (back in 2001) and she liked the idea though she isn't as enthused as I am, I gave the idea because I figured this would make our lives happier and fulfilling again, at least more. I was kind of leaning towards having a little sister since I already have an older one and that went well.
I will cut to the point that my mother has almost no money to spend on adoption extras, such as scouting out places and agencies, etc. She is very busy and I want to make this as easy as possible for her, I need all the info as possible, basically we live in Coral Springs and are wanting to adopt, preferably a young girl the age of 4-5.
One of her friends adopted a boy when he was an infant, she said it took her ages and a lot of money, obviously that isn't our path or option.
Please help I really want to make this work and happen, this is another chance to make her life as well as mine fulfilling again.

It would help many to know what information specifically are you looking for? There are many types of adoption and ways to adopt. With so much out there, it's hard to answer your questions without narrowing down what it is exactly you want to know.I will say though that if your mother is not that enthused about adopting a child, then maybe it's not something she really wants. With you and your sister being adults, she might not want to start parenthood all over again. Adopting an older child is not without issues either, so it's really something she personally wants.

Well unfortunately the adoption process requires the person adopting to go through all that hassle. She will have to complete ppwk, attend classes, meet with social workers etc. This isn't something you can do for her.I would recommend she first contact your local children's service office that is in charge of your county foster care system. They often have informational meetings on how to adopt from the state/county and it goes from there. Every person has to have a homestudy completed, background check done, etc. so again, it's something she'll need to do.If you are just gathering information on how to start the process, that's great. Call your local social services/child's dept. and go from there.:)
