Welcome ! =) Someone else asked this question awhile ago and I don't believe anyone was able to come up with an answer for her. We are interested in adoption at a future time, so I'm looking for the answer to this question as well. Unfortunately its a fine line you are treading.... =( Good Luck and I hope your little one can get away without having too many shots!

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 Welcome ! Congratulations on your new son!! I can only come up with one idea and that is to give some kind of excuse to delay the shots until another visit. Maybe he hasn't been feeling well, and you would like to wait until next time. We are also looking into adopting and I never thought about that interim period. If I find out anything I will let you know. Otherwise...stall! Good luck and keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 Hi, I'm new to the list and wanted to introduce myself and ask a question. My name is , and I live outside of Philadelphia, PA. My husband and I have adopted two sons. With our first son, we had him immunized until the adoption was finalized, and then we stopped. We just got our second son, who is now seven weeks old. He had the Hepatitis B Vaccine at birth, and that's been it. We *really* don't want any more immunizations for him, but we don't know what our rights are until the adoption is actually finalized. Does anyone have any information on this, or know where we might be able to find some? Also, about the breastfeeding ban, I haven't been downtown, but I've heard that there are groups down there protesting the anti-breastfeeding people! The whole thing is unbelievable!! Thanks, in PA SAHM to 1/5/98 Jordan 6/7/00 Married to Nick 5/9/92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just play the game. We have a family bed, but we still set up a whole nursery for the social worker to see. I feel like a hypocrite, but if that's the only way I can have a family, I'll do it! in PA SAHM to 1/5/98 Jordan 6/7/00 Married to Nick 5/9/92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 Thanks for the welcome! I wondered if the adoption topic had ever come up here. I'm going to continue my search, and I'll let those of you who are interested in adopting know what I find out. As far as stalling goes, the baby's already " due " for several of his shots, and we have to have three or four follow-up inspections over the next six months before we can finalize, so, unfortunately, that won't really work. in PA SAHM to 1/5/98 Jordan 6/7/00 Married to Nick 5/9/92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 Welcome . That's so funny...I was just thinking about asking that same question (vaccination rights when you adopt children) this morning but I didn't have time. I'd love to adopt a child in the future, but I'm afraid that, what with my crazy parenting ways and all, we'd never be apporoved. wrote: > Hi, I'm new to the list and wanted to introduce myself and ask a question. > My name is , and I live outside of Philadelphia, PA.

Cheryl >> Is it not possible to find a doctor to " suggest " the vaccines be delayed a year or so. By then the adoption will be final and you can do as you please. Perhaps someone on the list can help out with a doctor that would do that. Good luck and congratulations..... Chelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
