I am looking to adopt a child
Posted: 11/15/2005 2:56:47 AM
I would never just borrow a husband or a car, or home to live in and then decide........Why would I treat a child any different............I know that people come and go in lives but I want something that is for keeps...............Thus avoiding the heartache of separation for the child and myself...........Why would anyone go through that if you didn't have to?........Don't get me wrong..........I know that foster parents can be wonderful...........but I am looking for an answer to prayer..............And I don't believe half way............It's all the way...........
Thanks for your input though.................Suzanne

I said "prefer" because that is my preference........that does not mean I would only adopt a hispanic child. Please don't chastise me because I have a certain love for a specific nationality..........Your impression is totally off base. It is just that I have a love for the spanish culture, work in the mission field there and find them to be beautiful people.
I won't appologize for that at all. I am not selfish or self centered at all. And I have nothing against other children who have needs. Still it is in Gods' hands and not mine who He will put there.

Wow! What a wealth of information you are!........Thank you so much. I am learning spanish and have close friends who are spanish to help with the language challenge. But one of the reasons that I am studying is that I don't want this child to loose his or her heritage. I think that is very important. And when I go to Mexico on my mission trips I want to be able to converse in a better way so I am sure that God will bless in this endevor. Please keep in your prayers!..........They do help!..........Thanks again. Have a great day!

I know that you must be scared but know that there is one who is the lover of your soul and He will see you though no matter what the challenge...........in every way He will never leave you or forsake you. Just ask and you will recieve. I will keep you in my prayers. God will send people to be there for you when you most need them, to encourage you and help you.
In fact I am here to tell you that He has already heard your hearts cry and that He loves you very much and cares what is happening to you....................Suzanne

Prospective date asks to spank your child, how would u react?
Posted: 10/30/2005 1:51:40 PM
Ok, Sounds like you have gotten some great advice and there is only one thing that I could add to this and that is that if he thinks that is a joke and you are over reacting then he is way out of touch with reality and what it is to be a mother or a parent or for that matter a human being with common sense so there is another reason to walk away. This one incident would be the least of your problems if you were to allow him to hang around.

You know it kind of restores your faith in man/women........when you realize just how many great people there are on this site. I guess we have all had our share of "yahoo's" contacting us...........It makes you wonder about some of these people and how they function in relationships due to their challenges...........Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive.........It felt at times like this would never happen and now it seems much more possible..............You guys are great!

Thank you so much for all of your input. Some of these things I had not considered. As a matter of fact I have a friend who works at a children's home and I will contact her as soon as I return home from my vacation in Maine. It's so beautiful here. Lucky people who get to see these sites every day and enjoy fall all season. I think South Carolina goes straight from summer to winter.................Suzanne

Actually I would consider other options but just would prefer a hispanic child. I am learning the language and heritage and would love to teach a child the same so that he or she does not loose that part of who they are. One of the greatest reasons beyond the fact that I believe that they are beautiful.........I love all children but just think latino babies are so beautiful..............Thanks so much to all of you though for giving me encouragement and ideas........Suzanne

A wonderful idea that I had not considered. I will say also that I don't think I would "buy" a child. What pain and emotions for the child and family to be that desperate and yet I know that it is so. I really believe that God will lead me to the right child. My purpose in posting on POF was because there are so many people here. Some are genuinely wonderful people. I saw that as I read some of the responses to different subjects. I guess I'm an optimist.
I know that somewhere out there there is a child who needs a loving mom and there is somewhere out there who is a young lady in a difficult situation who wants her child to have a loving parent who will give the best she can and love that child and raise that child to be blessed and loved. As I said, i don't have lots of money and am looking to circumnavigate all the red tape. But I want it to be blessed and right in the eyes of the law too.
Thank you to all of you for your input. You have given me insights and perspectives I had not considered.
Keep me in your prayers, and the child that will come.

my two year old is very violent
Posted: 10/15/2005 11:46:24 PM
Hey there,
What a challenge for you. Your child is angry. Typically children this age have not developed coping skills and so act out their feelings. Use dolls and pay attention to what your child is saying when he is playing if he talks well at all.
The other thing that you can do is shut the television off and shut out any added violence in his world. Make your home a haven where he feels safe, comforted and loved.
He doesn't need to see cartoon characters beating up on each other or fighting on the regular chanellels either. Kids are way too exposed to that kind of garbage as it is.
Pray over your child. You may have to allow the grandparents the opportunity to visit. But God is bigger than they are. Use your tools of being a praying mom. No one loves your child like you do. God will hear you and you will see a difference. The other thing that you can do is put nothing in front of him for a while that is not soothing and comforting.
Put him on a fast of sorts of anything that will not build him up. Someone said remove the sugar and things like that. Those are good ideas but it is so hard for a child to communicate that it is hard to know just what sets it all off. But prayer..........That's the ticket...........All things are possible with prayer..........I will remember you in mine and your son.............God bless

I am looking to adopt a child
Posted: 10/15/2005 6:13:25 PM
I am a christian woman who wants to adopt preferably a hispanic child. I frequently do mission trips to Mexico and have fallen in love with hispanic children. I think they are beautiful. I would have gone to Mexico to adopt but the paper work an unsrupulous lawyers there make it next to impossible. I don't have lots of money but I have much love and wisdom to give a child. A friend told me there are many children just like that here.
I didn't know where to start so here I am. I have prayed long and hard about this and know that I do believe in miracles. Somewhere out there is a child who needs what I have to share and to offer. Perhaps one of you know of the right child or perhaps you know someone who is not able to raise a child and wants to make sure that it is loved and cherished as children should be. I don't know if this will work but hey it's worth a shot. And I do believe in Miracles. I see them every day..........Suzanne

I'm not really sure if this is the place to post this.......Some years ago I went through this and as many of you have said grew stronger....I know we each have a path to walk. I know some have it more difficult than others.........At this point in my life I am looking to adopt
a hispanic child. I frequently do mission trips to Mexico and would go there and adopt a child but getting a child across the border is really expensive and very tough. I am a christian and work in the medical field. I think that hispanic babies are the most beautiful babies in the world..........When I go to Mexico I fall in love every time...........I have lots of love to offer and know that God will send the right child to me. I want to make a difference. I just thought if someone is overwhelmed and not sure just what they want to do...........Here is an option.
Too all who choose to move forward in these challenges that I have read. Oh how I admire you. It is a tough world and I applaud your strength and fortitude.............Suzanne
