First Child to Adopt

Originally Posted By LoriMy husband and I are in the process of adopting through foster care. We are looking at ages 4 to 9, a girl.

Perhaps some learned advise as well. We are very excited but a bit nervous. We have rasied my husbands daughter from his first marriage and she is graduating next month and has enrolled for college in the Fall.One of our main concerns is religion. We are Southern Baptist and would like to raise this little girl this way. Is there anyone out there who has any stronmg religious beliefs and how did you manage?Any feedback concerning anything would be greatly appreciated.
