I appreciate hearing from you. Glad to hear that you are both considering foster care adoptions, because there is such a need there. Older children do have a harder time finding homes too.<br /> <br /> Good luck to you both!<br /> <br /> Thanks Stefanie and Laura for both your comments! I appreciate hearing from you.

We aren't doing it for the charitable reasons, but because there are children who need loving homes and we want to be parents. We are going to be adopting from foster care in the next year, hopefully. We're interested in older children, and if it's a boy, then my husband will be staying home because we really believe that our child will need that strong male role model in his life. Personally, I'd love to adopt a sibling group of 2-3 and call 'er done. <br /> I've always thought of adopting, but wasn't sure if my future husband would think the same. Luckily, he didn't play too much on the reluctant spouse role. I think he's as excited as I am - he's a big softy.<br /> I really enjoy all the blogs and the great insight!<br /> Laura Hi Jan,
Just like Stefanie, my husband and I are choosing to adopt before we venture to have biological children. We aren’t doing it for the charitable reasons, but because there are children who need loving homes and we want to be parents. We are going to be adopting from foster care in the next year, hopefully. We’re interested in older children, and if it’s a boy, then my husband will be staying home because we really believe that our child will need that strong male role model in his life. Personally, I’d love to adopt a sibling group of 2-3 and call ‘er done.
I’ve always thought of adopting, but wasn’t sure if my future husband would think the same. Luckily, he didn’t play too much on the reluctant spouse role. I think he’s as excited as I am – he’s a big softy.
I really enjoy all the blogs and the great insight!
Laura

I find that whole idea much more difficult to comprehend. I suppose the theory that there are already enough children who need homes without birthing more makes some sort of sense." <br /> Hi Jan,<br /> I hope to adopt in years to come, which is why I am researching adoption at the moment. I just thought I'd chip in here, as adoption happens to be my first choice. I would like to have maybe one biological child, but at the moment I would think my first child will be adopted. For me, it's quite like you said - there are wonderful children in orphanages and without families (I am very much directed to international adoption and foster care waiting child adoption) and I have a desire to welcome them into my family. Having said that, it is not a simple desire to do a good deed, or to be charitable that urges me (I feel that that alone would be a most inappropriate reason). For me, its just something that feels right, and has always felt right. I have often found myself feeling mildly surprised when other people don't consider adoption in their family plans, even though I know that most don't. Maybe it's something innate, I really don't know. Sorry I can't explain better!Thanks for your blog, Stefanie “Some women adopt who have never attempted to have biological children.
