My husband and I talked about this topic from time to time. It is hard for both of us not to have our children because of my medical condition since birth. We opt for adopting a new born baby.
But not for now, maybe 2-3 years from now, because we have so many issues in life that we have to take care first and to settle everything, adopting a kid is our way of easing the pain that we are feeling after losing our 2 babies.
We are praying that God will guide us in preparing ourselves to become parents of the kid that He will be giving to us sooooon.

One of my chidren is adopted. He is a wonderful young man now with a family. I always say he grew in my heart, he is such a blessing to our family. I hope that you can adopt a child in your future, Marie.

Really! Wow! at what age did you tell him that he is adopted? did you adopt him new born or is he a big boy now when you decided to adopt him?

He was young, but in your eyes, I suppose he was old. He came to live with us when he was 10., and it took a long time to get through the red tape. No one could find his birth father at the time, and his birth mother would not answer any calls or court orders--she had lost custody of her other children as well. He was formally adopted at 13. I can't tell you how good of a man he is--he has a master's and a doctorate, and a sweet wife and 2 adorable kids.
Finally a few years ago via Ancestry.com we found his birth father, who had absolutely no idea he even existed. So he has 3 sisters in his birth father's family, my 2 daughters and other son, and somewhere out there he has 3 more sisters from his birth mother. I encouraged him to find his birth father, as he was so curious, and it worked out well--his birth father is a nice man, was in the military and now runs an auto repair business. We all get along well, and that's how I wanted it to be, he deserved to know where he came from. He was a true gift to our family.

Thank you! Now, I can see that love isn't about blood it's about how you will look out for that person.
Maybe someday I can be a mom too to a baby who's abandoned by his/her birth parents.
