Adoption Advice
When I speak to parents who wish to adopt, I tell them that it's my opinion that love is the one thing that makes or breaks a family. A loving, secure home that is full of attention and quality time will create the ultimate family bond and that is what they should look at first when considering adopting.
As a mother of four children, seventy-five plus street kids and the adopted Internet mom to many, I can tell you that age isn't an issue. The title mom or dad comes with the same responsibilities, the same challenges, and the same demands. A firm, open-minded hand that can juggle both love and discipline is what will provide the baseline for a successful adoption; not the age of a child.

I often think adoption is better then growing up knowing that your real mother is not invested in you. An adoptive parent knows they want a child, a natural born mother may of had you because of an accident. I was adopted and I strongly recommend it for others. There are so many children in the foster care system already waiting for attention, for someone to take an invested interest in them, to make them feel good about themselves, and want to grow up to advance out of their current station in life. If we ignore these children they may turn to worse endeavors. Thanks for sharing.
