    Adoption can be expensive, but don't forget about the children in foster homes of all ages (including infants) and races who are just waiting to be adopted! Adoption from foster care is also free! Additionally, until the adoption is finalized the state pays you (not much though) to care for the baby or child. Some children and babies in foster care have very little or no special needs or health issues while others have a lot. The social workers will always be honest with you and tell you about each child available for adoption and you don't have to say yes to the first one. Remember that paying for a private adoption doesn't guarentee a healthy baby and having one on your own doesn't guarentee you one either. If you just want to be a mom and are looking for a baby or child to love there are plenty in the foster care waiting to be placed in a forever home just waiting to be loved and adopted for no costs at all. It's something to thinbk about, but it's also not for everyone. I just thought I would mention it though.

    Adoption through foster care is absolutly 100% free regardless of your state. The younger the child or the baby the more likely there is a legal risk. You do get your own social worker assigned to you and you can tell him or her that you only want children or babies that are no legal risk at all, medium risk or high risk. You also get to decide which things you can work with children babies addicted to born or just a baby that was neglected because it was a teen mom who had the baby and didnt know how to care for it. Babies left in "safe havens" go to foster care for adoption after a certain amount of days and they tend to be mostly healthy, usually jusat teens who didnt want the baby or didnt know how to tell their parents. Its very sad, but it happens. There usually is a longer wait for the healthier babies, but you can decide what you can handle for needs in a child or baby. A baby could be born with asthma, hearing loss or mild loss of sight. There are also more cases of shaken baby, and babies born addicted to drugs. Although you might have a longer wait for your baby, it will always be free no matter what baby you get or what needs it has. If the baby does have a medical condition (even if its asthma) AND YOU ADOPT THAT BABY OR CHILD, THEY WILL AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFY TO BE ON STATE HEALTH INSURANCE EVEN AFTER THE ADOPTION. While the baby/child is in your care, until it becomes adopted the states pays you a minimum of $15 dollars a day, all children under the age of 5 get WIC (free formula/food) and quartly clothing allowances. Once the child/baby is adopted you will stop receiving money for the child from the state unless the child is sopecial needs and has a pre adoption subsidy. All children adopted through foster care can attend any state college for free. It might be a long wait for your baby/child but it may be worth it and you might find out there are some needs you dont mind your child having such as asthma or mild hearing loss. You will NEVER have to pay to adopt a child through foster care though and theres thousands of children and babies who need a loving home. You can also be single, married, divorced, lesbian/gay, rent or own your home and they dont even ask you how much money you have in your savings or what your credit score is. They are just looking for people to be caring parent(s) and with a job, your income doesnt even matter much. They just care that you can support yourself and child off of it whatever it is.

    I'm in the tww of my 5th IUI and also just signed up for a Los Angeles country adoption orientation session. The session isn't until Dec and I will hopefully be pregnant by then. But I just felt like I had to start working on two paths.
