Adopting from the Foster System

Adoption makes a huge impact in the lives of children.

[@brookitha327]

Once I am financially able and have traveled a bit, I want to adopt older kids out of foster care. This is such a beautiful story.

[@caseyfontaine95]

My older sister was adopted the day she was born. We may not be biologically related, but she’s still my sister no matter what and I love her!

[@kathleengora616]

I got adopted at 5 years old. I have my forever family

[@booyah2u296]

This couple had a lot of love to give and these children just wanted to be loved. May your family have great memories together. God bless.

[@marythoj205]

Serie Shortcakes卌 you are very wise for a young lady. Not saying that you shouldn't be because of your age but I can see you making a difference whether big or small. Good luck to you!

[@serieshortcakes3884]

I am sorry to have noticed you have 8 thumbs down...what kind of person does this. I hope your life is full of joy and keeps going down this wonderful path!

[@minstrelofMir]

18 now but they maybe thinking something that came to my mind,,now they got a free baby sitter,,looks like they have 3 younger children,thats normaly enough to handle,but easyer with an older ready to help one

[@dawittywats1934]

Some people are disturbed and intentional attempt to hurt, but there are more of us who aren’t and don’t! ❤️

[@paulfharris175]

Those who have given the thumbs down have one thing in common and that is they are all brain 🧠 dead NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS

[@toyman9642]

Much respect and admiration for couples who adopt. Considering there are thousands of children IN THE U.S. AND CANADA NOW who want loving homes, I will never understand this "need to breed." Why get pregnant when you can give love to a child now living?

[@snowbird7254]

THIS I COULDN'T AGREE MORE

[@lotto5742]

Do you know how much it cost to adopt and how long the process takes? It can cost up to 30k-50k just to adopt a child and the process can take 2-5 years. If it was cheaper and the process was a lot shorter people would adopt more. I knew a lot of people who turned away from adoption because it was too time consuming and didn't make sense financially.

[@JuanMartinez-ys8zz]

I do agree

[@elenav7810]

Maybe people want to have kids with their DNA in them? Do you know the feeling of having a child with yours and your love’s blood in it, mixed perfectly? That can’t be replaced by anything. Also carrying a baby in your tummy is an amazing experience.

[@pettifoggingpharisee]

@@anyaseidel easy now. That's a bit uncalled for. Technically concieving a child or adopting one is in itself a selfish act as it is derived from a want to have a child. Adoption is not for everyone and it doesn't take away the pain of not being able to concieve a child for those who can't do so. Where it really matters is that a child born into a family is given the love and care so that child will never know the pain of ever being unwanted. For those of us who can't concieve, we have an opportunity to make a difference in another human being that will last a lifetime.

[@pizzashit3875]

I want to adopt an older kid now! They have such beautiful hearts

[@PurpleObscuration]

That's a very smart kid, good luck to you and your family, I don't know you but I'm very happy for you and your family. Peace.

[@katiaferreira4370]

Beautiful story! Bless you all 🙏

[@rachelmoore436]

i got adopted at 3 months old i love my family

[@emmanueldidier7122]

And they love you too!

[@jppontat2995]

God bless you and keep your heart and meet your needs.

[@masuganut2082]

I wish my husband and I were doing better financially... I want to adopt! 😥

[@miss_S]

In Sha Allah (with God's will) .. You will get there..

[@pettifoggingpharisee]

I'm a year late and I'm not sure if you're in the USA. But have you considered foster to adopt? Private adoptions are expensive, but there are resources and programs available to licensed foster parents. The main drawback is it can be a lengthy process. Also, termination of parental rights is not immediate which means priority is always focused on re-unification. You could potentially have quite a bit of kids coming into and leaving your care before adoption is on the table. But, you will impact these kids for a lifetime.

[@hr-hq8ji]

Why does she look like the mom though lol . Perfect match!

[@mylifeasderya4492]

OMG SHE IS SO CUTE WITH BRACES 😍😍😍💕💕💕

[@sheliamccullough9418]

[@ethansbluefox3studioscreat134]

[@opheliaslove]

This young woman is such a rock star.

[@melancholicravenn]

Please adopt if you can, aging out of care is so hard and scary when you have no one it's heart breaking, I wish people would adopt young adults too 😭😭

I want to adopt a child ❤

[@ashuliadahrii9284]

If I could get a help..

[@clarkeketorobinson7636]

2019 anyone

[@lienbijs1205]

I am just wondering if she ever dares to be as annoying and moody as my 14 yrs old daughter sometimes. I mean, it seems hard to me for a teenager to always realize she has to be thankful.

[@darrenheadrick3669]

She's not a child. The system Pawnee a short adult on the parents. Just kidding people, she entirely way too wise for her age. I wish only wonderful things for you and your family young lady.

[@minstrelofMir]

yer she will make a great free baby sitter them 3 younger ones maybe a handful

[@toluwalolaadefalu4345]

she was crying she seems to kinda miss the adoption center
