This is my first time watching. Thank you for sharing your experience! I am also turning 42 this summer and I my husband and I are now starting our journey. Pray our strength!
Thank you for sharing this! We are starting the process to foster to adopt. We are also in our forties and your video was so very helpful. You have a beautiful family! God bless y’all!
You are so welcome, I'm so glad it was helpful 😊 I hope the other videos in our Foster Care playlist will also be helpful. We have more coming as well! May God bless you on this new journey ❤️
This is the first video of yours i’ve come across and I’m so excited because we live in Rhode Island and have just started the process for foster care/adoption ♥️
So amazing! I hope our videos are helpful. If you haven't already, I recommend getting involved with Foster Forward, they have a lot of wonderful resources for both parents and children ❤️
I was watching this and when you said Rhode Island it made it even more interesting lol. I live in Foster RI well grew up in Foster then i moved to Warwick then providence☺☺☺
Congratulations on your adoption! The social media rules are different for us in Missouri. We can post photos of our foster kiddos as long as we do not state they are foster kiddos.
Thanks for that info. We don't qualify for a tax credit ( I thinking that's what your referring to) because we did not pay for our adoptions. In Rhode Island a certain amount is covered to pay the Adoption attorney. In RI the ongoing stipend that a foster parent receives, does not continue unless the child meets certain criteria. It's too bad the rules are not the same from state to state, it would make it so much easier to share.
For us it's been primarily positive. In some ways it's a similar adjustment as when you add another child to the family by birth. My older children had a more difficult time with foster children coming and going and some of the trauma behaviors that they had to live with.
Our situation was a little different because our initial goal was not adoption. We just wanted to be foster parents but God had a different plan ( praise Him 🙌). You can specify that you are a pre adoptive and only choose to take placements that have a chance at adoption. Or you can contact your states adoption agency letting them know your interested in adopting a child in the foster care system. Praying for you and your family through this journey! 🙏
Clearly you're not a regular subscriber to our channel. Viewing children as dolls is the last thing we think. Maybe watch through our Foster care playlist. My children are not the age to have a video on their perspective.

Thank you! That's so interesting, from state to state the rules are so different, it can make it so confusing!
God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much 💕
Your real estate assessor should be submitted reports soon and you can do your part by submitting irs paperwork to determine your adoption stipend.

Can you tell me what the experience is like for adopting with grown or mostly grown children of your own

My cousin use to be a fire fighter
We are trying to decide between foster to adopt and private adoption. How did you decide ? Thanks.

How about the adoption story for a child...what it is like for a child child?? How about the struggle...we are not cabbage patch kid dolls!
