There are so many married couples waiting to adopt newborn babies in the U.S. I think your changes of adopting a newborn domestically are slim. There are so many children in countries such as Romania who need homes. I have heard that some agencies place children as young as 6 months old from third world countries. Try checking out Holt International at I did not adopt through them, but they are a well-established adoption agency placing children from several countries.Good luck with your adoption!!

Good luck with your search.

However, I have never had children and we have tried almost everything possible over the last 5 years to have a biological child. We now feel that to give a home to a child who is here already, or on the way, and needs a home is the best future for the prospective child and will bring us much pleasure. Are there agencies in Texas or elsewhere in the US who would assist us? We are willing to look at a US or an international child and would be happy to welcome a baby or young child.
Originally Posted By JessieDonna,I adopted my son from Romania. He was almost two and I was forty-two when he came home (just over two years ago). Though it would have been nice to have known him since infancy, I can honestly say that the time I've had with him since he came home more than compensates for anything missed in those first twenty months he spent in the orphanage. Consider a child who's a little older...they need homes and love, too. Good luck!
