“I think babies grow in a mommy’s tummy and adopted babies grow in a mommy’s heart.”
I saw this line while I was surfing through the Internet and I was really touched in how simple yet genuine the message is. Adopting a child is such a wonderful deed where in you get a chance to give unconditional and unfailing love to an innocent young child and guide them to become a person fully equipped to face the battles of the real world.
Adoption is another word for love. And there are lots of ways where in you can share your love through adopting a child. The simplest way is through “Networking”. In adoption terms, “networking” means to tell anyone and everyone about your intent to adopt. Let other people know that you want to adopt a child, and they might help you with the adoption process. You might be astounded by the response that you might receive when you decide to spread out the wonderful news. There are couples who had already tried Networking, and it really worked for them. They were the ones who were contacted by pregnant mothers who already had decided to give their children for adoption. And as a protocol, they went through the legal adoption process.
Here is a link of the site where in you can post your profile as a couple who would love to consider adoption for your growing family.
There are also agencies that can help you with the adoption process. There are Public Agencies who generally handle special-needs adoptions and adoptions of older children. And on the other hand, there are Private Agencies who handle all domestic and intercountry adoptions. It is important that you check on the agency for references, licensing and for the fees and payment schedules.
Once you have chosen an agency you are required to complete an application form. You will be then subjected to participate in a Home Study, which will measure your capabilities as an adoptive parent. This may take few months, but once this is accomplished you are set to adopt a child. The Agency of your choice will help you in every step of the way.
Adopting a child is an act of goodness. You will not only give them shelter but you will have the chance to give them love and security for which these little angels deserve.
