Hi Everyone,
I am a single professional woman just starting to look for an adoption program. So far, I havent had much luck. The PA state program wonҒt even talk to me unless I want a child over 8I donŒt. I am hoping for a little girl under two. I have had two agencies tell me that there is no hope in their domestic programs because birthmothers only choose young couples, not over 40 singles (although some wonderful ladies on this site have told me that they are full of poo-poo). Most international programs dont seem at all friendly toward singles either and a few of the ones that do would require me to take off a huge amount of time from work to stay in-country throughout their process. I only get 3 weeks of vacation. I am trying not to get discouraged, I believe God will help me find the right place҅but geez I wish it were not so hard!!!! :eek:
Another thing that concerns me are the costs involved with adoption and then the dreaded daycare costs (and I just realized that I will need to get rid of my car for something more car seat friendly). I make an average middle class living, but I am just one incomehow do you all handle the financial end of things as a single? I am willing to bet that you all are not millionaires out there, and are probably in a similar financial place that I am. Any advice (about anything I need to know about this process) is appreciated! -KMM
