Forum: Matched and Waiting to be Matched

Hi Ladies, We are homestudy approved, and making final decisions on which attorney to use. We live in a state that does not allow attorneys to advertise so we are thinking of using an attorney that can advertise (in CA). I'm just wondering if any of you have done this? Did it make the cost of...

I just had to update and say that we brought our baby girl home from the hospital on 12-2-2010. We were matched with birth mom in June, I attended all her doctor appointments with her, and I was with her all through labor and delivery. It was a stressful 4 days at the hospital just because of all...

We have been homestudied for nearly 7 months and are waiting to hear the results of a round table meeting to discuss the adoption of a sibling pair for which 16 or so families will be discussed. Three families will be shortlisted, more qns for those 3, then a final decision made late Jan, the...

We have been matched with a BM in Michigan. We are 2 mos. into the process and financially invested in this match. BM due in 1 week. BF just filed notice of intent to claim paternity, but unsure as to whether he is seeking custody of child or retaliation against BM. BF has a daughter with BM and BM...

Hi! I'm not new to FT (spent a lot of time on the infertility side) and have only posted over here a few times ... but I'm excited to move on over here! DH and I had been TTC for 5 years w/o any success (including 6 IVF attempts - all negative). We decided to stop being infertility patients...

Wow, I've made it 5 months already and things are going well with our match. Only 2 months to go before "induction day" and we are all excited about that. Birthmom is starting to get uncomfortable but is still looking great. At the appointment she had on Friday I even got to see baby moving...

Hi, I am new to this forum. My husband and I are waiting to be matched and are getting increasingly discouraged. The only options we've been asked about have been birthmoms on drugs (methadone, etc.). Are we going with the wrong agencies? We are wondering whether perhaps our agencies happen to...

Things have been going well with our possible birthmother. We usually e-mail back and forth at least once a day, sometimes more. She has met with a lawyer already (through the agency) to hear the legal issues involved and that went well. Birthfather is still willing to cooperate fully - YEAH! ...

Monday is going to be an exciting day since we are taking our 3 hour drive to attend birthmom's doctor appointment (16 weeks I think). She is excited to have us since she will be meeting with the MD and it sounds like she only meets with the actual doctor occasionally and a nurse practioner the...

Please check in if you are matched or waiting to be matched, I would love to get this bb moving and shakin:D

If all goes as planned, I'll be a mommy again come December! We met a wonderful lady on Friday and spent 3 very short hours talking, getting to know each other, and planning the beginning of a relationship that I hope will last for years. She is really a special person and someone I would love to...

Lets have them ladies!!!! Who's here and where are you in the process? Come out come out wherever you are:D

I am SIL to a woman that I consider to be one of the sweetest, most amazing women I have ever known. She has battled infertility, losses and an adoption that almost was(long story). My heart breaks for her. She and her husband were FINALLY cleared to adopt and have all their paperwork, homestudies...

Can I gat everyone to post of this thread? Give us an update - whatever you want:) Lurkers - PLEASE come out and post! :)

We were told yesterday by my sw that we were choosen for the two boys who are 3 & 5 and I couldn't be more elated right now. Those are the fellas I was really drawn to and I'm happy to be their mom. Dh screamed on the boat that he's going to be a dad when I told him. So our first thing is go to a...

Come out come out where ever you are:)

I just wanted to post this for those who are interested in the adoption process or are currently waiting so that you don't run into a snafu like we did. We found out today the reason why we probably weren't choosen after being on the staffed list twice especially after being told we were a hot item...

Ladies, I'm asking that you all pray for my husband and I in hopes that the baby who will be staffed on August 27th is meant to be with us. We were five to be selected for a baby boy who came up in July and was just staffed today with another family. But the cty liked us and felt we would be...

So after 6.5 months of waiting to be matched, we were finally contacted by our attorney about an agency that is looking for parents for a baby girl that was born a few days ago. We sent our profile in immediately but just found out that we were not selected. I'm so sad now. I wasn't sure that...

Hi Everyone, My husband and I are trying to adopt. We have our homestudy done and have been waiting 6 months and 2 weeks. We are using an agency where we live, have our profile posted online at parent profiles, and are using an adoption attorney for contacts. 3 different avenues and we have...

Our homestudy was recently approved on 7/6, and since then we have gotten two calls one for a relinquishment which was risky, and another for a 9 month old boy whom the cty hasn't made a decision on which couple is a right fit for him until 8/6. So with that said I'm just wondering what you ladies...

Can we get some updates???

Anyone ever use Lifetime Adoptions? I'm looking for any info I can get please. Also I'm with an agency now, so would it be bad to sign up with another agency or facilitator at the same time? Have you ever done this? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer me.
