Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 , I just wanted to say that my husband and I adopted a baby through foster care and it is the most rewarding thing I have ever done..We already had 2 girls and always said that we would take in kids that needed a safe place and love until they could go home or find permadent home for them.. Well my son was the first call my husband and I received. He was almost 4 months old and weighted 8 pounds.. His birth mom was 15 and in eighth grade. The minute I saw him I was in love and knew that it was going to be hard to give him back... We adopted him 2 weeks before his second birthday.. Devin is now 6 and has Classic autism and was diagnosed before we finalized the adoption.. Just wanted to share.. Lesley -- Re: age Wow, that really is amazing. Thank God there are people like you out there willing to give so much of yourself. I occasionally go on the adoption photolistings for kids in foster care just to look at all of those kids that need homes and cry for them (is that weird? lol). My husband and I have discussed possibly doing that when we are older. We had our first at age 22, which was very young in our circles. But given the level of attention our kids have required, its a good thing we started young! Our oldest (now 6) is PDD-NOS and our youngest is 4 1/2 with mild/mod autism. The second was a COMPLETE surprise (yes- it only takes one time lol) but it turned out to be a good thing. Even though our youngest does not socialize at ALL with other kids, you should see him with his brother. They are so precious playing together it nearly brings me to tears every single day. They help each other in so many ways, and understand each other better than I can sometimes. They hold hands when they cross the street, help each other get their shoes on, build tents and forts, play pirates, share the computer, and I could go on and on. It truly is amazing to see the bond that they have with each other, especially considering that the 'professionals' see my youngest son's biggest weakness as being 'unable to relate to others'!! If they could only see him at home with his brother! I thank God every day that he knew better than I did when I should have that second child! W>> I gave birth to my first child at 20.( He is now 37) I gave birth to my 2nd child at 29.(He is now 28) They are both great men and doing well. I had a lot of energy with them (and not so many smarts!!!!!). I got my first foster child I adopted () when I was 42 and my last one I adopted when I was 46. I don't have as much energy.....but I am a lot smarter!!!!!!! The only thing I worry about as I get older, is not being around when they need me later in life..... Although these kids are several handfuls (LOL), I wouldn't trade them for the world. They are now 16, 14, 12, & 11.> > Ellen> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
