Lesbian adoption

If your co-workers know don't you think that the agency might find out? Don't they do a pretty through background check? When I was a foster parent they did. I thought I wanted to adopt also, but now I'm 50 and I'm glad it didn't happen. I am not in such good health as I was back then and I'm tired alot. so I feel that htings worked out for the best for me in the end. I can't tell you what to do in your situation. I always thought it was good to be honest but that honesty cost me a really good paying job. So, I just don't know. Sorry and I hope things work out for the best.

I would look into International adoption, most countries are a lot more open and the cost depending on the country will not be that much more. There are grants that you can get via different places and maybe even your workplace as well as leave for the process. US adoptions can take a lot longer than International adoptions especially if you are trying to adopt as a single or as a gay or lesbian couple because 90% of adoption agencies in the US are run by religious organizations who do not accept single or homosexual households as suitible to place children into. You might also want to looking into an agency that will prepare all of your paperwork for you, that can often times speed up the process and cost as little as $200. There is a lot of information online, I've researched it for about 2 yrs now myself, search and see what you can find that may help you out.

I see nothing wrong with homosexuals adopting children. I figure, if the child is loved and the parents have the means and the money to support that child, then nothing else matters. Lesbians, Gays, and Bi's should have the same rights that straight people have. This is not about religion, this is about whether or not the child is loved and has everything he or she needs in ordered to grow up into a productive human being. I do not care if a person is homosexual or heterosexual, if you have all that you need and you are a productive person, then adopt a child if that is what you want.

What state are you in? I think that the majority of states do allow gay adoption, but I would check the status of your resident state before divulging the information to you case worker. Screw your co worker (sorry to sound so blunt) but gay men and women raise perfectly good children with no mental problems because of it. My brother and his partner are raising 3 kids and they are happy and healthy and it sucks that kids need homes and gay parents are not allowed to give them homes in certain states. Check on the adoption laws in your state and good luck. If you care that much than you should be a mother. sexuality should never be an issue.

I think its probably normal to wait that long. I had a cousin wait i think 3 or 4 years to adopt. You shouldnt second guess what you want just because of what your co worker said. Just think about it for a while and im sure you'll be able to figure out what you really want. Dont let what other people think get you down.

you're still a woman with unwaivering maternal instincts and are entitled to the processes of governing law. you want kids? seek out the support and legal edges you'll need. Go beyond christianity and tap into the universal collective conscience. display the desire and keep it constant. it will project and return with positive results.
