Hello I am Terrie adoptive mom to 3 children now ages, 17 adopted at age 9 , thru foster care, son now 12 adopted thru foster care at age 5, and a private adoption using adoption advertising . To find a birthmom who was considering placement of her child in an adoptive home, and like us wishing for an open adoption. He is now 7 adopted at birth with us having the awesome gift of being at his birth.
OPEN adoption> We have some form of openess with all of our childrens birth families with our youngest child being a very very open adoption his birthmom visits us at our home, has brought his siblings to meet him, sends him gifts as does her family, including the birth grandmom, and assorted other extended birth family members, This arrangement may not be for every one but has worked very well for us and we are very close to ours sons birthmom and family. That is the reason that should the opportunity presents itself again we would love to adopt again. We are open to many differentneeds of a child this time around having alot more experience this time, , as to any race or a racially mixed child, we also are very strong advocates for our children to know about their roots and there heritage as that is part of what makes them unique individuals
Today there are many types of children and adoption options as ever before, their are fewer infants avaiable for adoption but my true feeling on this one is I have never known anyone, who truely wanted to adopt who did not eventually adopt a child, they may have had to wait a while longer or got creative or broadened the type of child they would consider, go international etc but they did succeed,
I am here for answers to any questions you may have about adoption today , if your wanting to adopt and need advice, are facing or know someone facing an unplanned pregnancy please feel free to email me any time I am always happy to answer ?'s no pressure, no hassles jsut honest answers if I do not have the answer I will try my best to find the information for you, take care all. Terrie
