I am starting this journal because I need to put in writing my feelings and experiences during our adoption process. My name is Pam and my dh and I are just beginning our adoption journey. I am 45 years old and I am an RRT ( Registered Respiratory Therapist) My husband John is 40 years old and he is an EMT. We have 4 children still at home ages 5-14. We have been married almost 3 years now. We love our children very much and decided that we would love to have more. We've decided to adopt internationally. Right now we are in the process of researching agencies. We really don't have alot of support from our familys. They don't understand why we would want more children. I get statements like "Don't you think you have enough kids?" and " What are you going to do with another child?" I really hate that. It makes me so mad. I want to say to them,"Do you have to support any of my children or take care of any of my children?" I think not. We have room in our hearts and our home for more. We're not going to let any of our negative family members or friends influence our decision to adopt. There is nothing more important than loving and caring for a child. I feel like God will show us the way and lead us to the child or possibly children that are right for us. The main thing we're concentrating on right now is researching the different agencies and finding the one that is right for us. Another thing is coming up with the funds to adopt.I feel like this is another area where God will show us the way. I found the adoption forums and they have helped me alot. I feel like we will get all the support we need from it. There are so many nice people on them and they are all going thru or have already been thru the process of adoption. What better way to learn the things we need to know about adoption. I will write more later.
