There is also a great website called Hopetoadopt.com and they have some LDS families to choose from, and most are working with LDS Family services where they live, that may be a possibility, good luck and God bless!

I am a wonderful mother, very strong LDS, but an unable to have anymore children biologically. Everyone has told me that I need to do this, and I had never considered it until now. Today. So, here I am, in a situation where most mothers want their children to go to a family with 2 parents. I could get married at anytime, but I have not found the right person yet. I don't feel in a hurry.I work for a Japanese software company. Previously I have been a Executive Producer for Children's entertainment. I also write comedy.Feel free to e-mail me with questions.Take careSusan
