Learning About Adoption
August 29, 2008 by Kimberly · Leave a Comment
In the August issue of Parents magazine, there is a great article called “Adoption Diaries” that you can find here. The article shares various family stories (various degrees of open adoption; foster-care and international adoption). Afterwards, important details are provided regarding each option (domestic, international and foster care adoptions).
This article really made me think. Although, I definitely don’t want to have any more biological children, I’ve always wanted to adopt. I’m not sure if I will or won’t due to time, energy and financial constraints. Right now, two kids take up all of the energy that my husband and I have but who knows what the future holds when they’re both in school? In any event, if we ever do adopt, I’m leaning towards adopting a little girl from Ethiopia (for a variety of reasons that wouldn’t come out “right” in writing)…
