Adoption Questions

Almost daily we receive questions about our adoption experience. Some people are just interested and fascinated by the whole process and others are searching for answers in hopes of making a decision to adopt. We hope to answer your questions.

Sometimes fear is the biggest issue when making a decision to adopt. It was for us. Our advice would be to just do it. Research adoption, ask questions, read our site, read the entire site of our agency and pray. Pray for God's direction. If you feel this "desire" in your heart, then just do it! Don't wait. He gives us the desires of our heart. So many families tell us they wish they would have started earlier. Take that leap of faith. In one way, you already have by reading this site.

Look at the questions below, start at the top, and click on each question for the answers. We suggest that you start with the "Vocabulary" so you understand our adoption process. Whether you are interested in adopting a child in your family or you just want to understand our journey better, we hope your questions can be answered. If you have more questions, email us any time. Maybe we will add your question to our list. :)
