Adoption

Anyone adopted? Private or through foster?  We are debating adoption vs fertility treatments and wondering if anyone could give us some info or maybe someone knows how expensive adoption might be? 

Re: Adoption

  • I know nothing about adoption but I wanted to wish you luck! 
  • DH and I haven't personally adopted but my BIL and his wife did last year. They went through an agency out of St. Louis but they live in TX. I know they tried to go through a state agency but they told my SIL that she didn't meet the age requirment at the time (Confused (She was 23) So they decided to go through a private agency. I could try to get the info from them if you are interested in going that route.

  • H and I are currently in the adoption process. We're going through Oklahoma DHS, so the cost (so far) has been zilch. From what I understand, the only thing we'll end up having to pay for is the lawyer fee at the end... and even then, it gets reimbursed to you. We'd like to avoid the foster-to-adopt route, but if we want a baby then we're more than likely going to have to do that... so we've been considering it.

    So, if you want more information or whatever, I'll tell you what I know...
