This article might have a bias because it’s posted on an adoption agency’s website, but I think it actually lays out some of the most important pros and cons. If you’ve decided on domestic adoption but need to evaluate the pros and cons of private adoption vs. foster-to-adopt, check out their post.

A Birth Mother’s Point of View
Thoughts from a birth mother. I think it’s important that we remember that adoption involves more than just us and our prospective adopted children. Here is a quote from the post:
I want you to know that nothing is black-and-white, that adoption can’t be generalized, that not the adoptive parents, not the birth parents, not the adoptees can know the extent of how they will be affected.
Adopting an older child
Not everyone is adopting an infant. Adoptions from the Heart has a nice blog post about how to make a smooth transition when adopting an older child. They are probably good tips for any adoption but since we have some members of the group adopting older children or fostering, I thought I would share their post here.
Reminder: Next group meeting is May 6th
Just a quick reminder that we will be meeting on May 6th at 6 pm. If you plan on attending the meeting, please let me know. You can either email me or get in touch using the Contact Me link above.
Looking forward to seeing you then!
