My name is Melina and I am a 23 year old mother. I am interested in connecting with a local couple considering to adopt and don't mind working with a couple that already has children

I really want to help another family. I've gave birth two three months ago and i really want to do this. I'm looking for a couple that feels the same way I do. And I'm really hoping for a continuing relationship after the adoption or let the adoptive parents decide

We have identified an older child (12-year-old boy) on the state photolistings that we are very interested in. Probably too interested, given how early we are in this process. I believe the child was listed in September of last year.

So I've been reading a number of books on adoption (Parenting the Hurt Child, Attaching through Adoption, etc.) and the thing is, I think the kiddo I'm going to adopt is pretty attached to me. Am I being way too hopeful?

I met him two years ago when I was a staff member at the group home where he lives. He'd just been moved there a month before I started working there.

Ever since they "approved" the home study, they have gone out of their way to ignore emails and calls from me and agencies asking about us.

We were just contacted by a case worker who has a little boy in a treatment center who is scheduled to "graduate" from its program within a few weeks.

We know nothing about treatment centers, what adopting from such centers is like, and how to work with the child to maintain progress once he reaches our home.

Does anybody have any suggestions? ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/518 Wed, 25 Apr 2007 17:17:54 GMT http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/515/t/Treatment-center-adoption-.html
We were recently contacted by a case worker who has a child in a treatment facility, and he is due to get out shortly.

We don't know anything about treatment facilities, what it is like to adopt from such facilities, and what we would need to do in order to maintain the child's progress once he is in our home.

Does anybody have any suggestions/advice/comments on treatment center adoptions? ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/515 Wed, 25 Apr 2007 17:14:25 GMT http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/511/t/Reminding-Social-Workers-.html
My case worker is always on the ball, but it seems as though the social workers in the other states are too overwhelmed to indicate what is happening with the children. I had been told that several children received many "hits", and that their pictures would be removed from the internet. That has yet to happen.

I have been told my several different people that in order to get... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/511 Sun, 22 Apr 2007 16:40:22 GMT http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/519/t/Still-waiting.html feeds@yuku.com (lphilpott) http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/519 Sat, 14 Apr 2007 10:13:57 GMT http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/520/t/New-to-the-Adoption-Process.html
We are new to this. We have a 10 year old son and made the decision that we are not up for the challenge of another baby. We are wanting to adopt an older child (5-8 years of age). We were hoping for a little insight here. We would like to hear about your struggles and successes adopting an older child and how the relationship was with your other children in the home.

our son is very excited and has alot to say about the type of child. I just hope that we are making... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/520 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 08:31:30 GMT http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/521/t/Change-in-plans-what-to-do-.html feeds@yuku.com (lphilpott) http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/521 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 10:02:19 GMT http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/522/t/No-more-calls-we-have-a-winner-I-think-.html feeds@yuku.com (lphilpott) http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/522 Sat, 10 Mar 2007 05:28:48 GMT http://olderchildadoption.yuku.com/topic/514/t/Adopt-older-child-from-Vietnam-what-agency-to-use-.html
