wanting to adopt

I am an experienced mom as I have 1 child by birth and 2 wonderful kids through adoption.  I find adoption unique and special and would like to finish our family by adding one last child that will be the center of our world.  We are open to any race, sex, and age.  We are not expecting an infant as we know there are so many families waiting.  We are open to toddlers and young children whose birth parents have decided they can no longer parent their child.  We are a homestudied ready family for Illinois and are willing to get an updated homestudy for interstate adoption if needed. We are open to kids with special needs and drug exposed children as well so we hope we get a call soon.

Hello Friend...

Jeff & Tracy

 Hello Friend, We are Jeff and Tracy Chastain from TN.  We feel humbled that you are taking the time to read about our family. We have a heart for adoption. Tracy and her brother were both adopted. Also, we have been blessed to have already grown our family through foster care adoption. This has given us a unique perspective about the needs of an adopted child. Since our children are older, we would love the opportunity to adopt again. He or she will be a cherished part of our family!

Just waiting

We have been in the process of attempting to start our family for over years.  It wasn't until April, 2009 that we officially began the adoption process.  We were approved in March, 2010 and have been waiting and trying to get our information out there any way that we can.  We have pass along cards, postings on Facebook and other sites.  We have a blog, ,3 profiles on 3 different websites now too.  I've been feeling like we will have a birth mother come into our lives soon that will know we are the right fit for her baby.  We wait and long for that moment.  So, I've had the pressing feeling lately, after much prayer of what to do, that we need to have a completed nursery.  Thus, we are in the process of gathering furniture and decoration - this way even if we get a call next week that a baby is ready for us in a hospital already, we will be ready for the baby. 

jd and betty

The best of both worlds

We have a more detailed profile and lots more photos on our webiste www.dbabyadventure.com  We also have our blog comments and link to our facebook page. 

 

We are so excited to expand our family.  Not only are we looking forward to welcoming a new baby but, also "first" parents and extended family - if they wish!  We hope for a VERY open adoption and are even waiting to decorate the nursery so the expecting mom/couple can pick out the baby's room decorations.

Best wishes,

Courtney and Dustin

Well, here goes!

We hope a first mom or family finds us and we are what they are looking for in second parents.

We know there are a lot of scams, hurdles and dissapointments involved in this journey, however we feel that the when the time is right, the stars will align and we will be able to welcome a child or sibling groups into out lives.

The Journey...

Several years ago, after several years of trying, Dave and I found out that we had less than a 3% chance to conceive a child of our own.  There was a surgery that could be performed, but it was risky, only had a 50% chance of working, and at the best would only double our chance.  The risks did not seem worth raising our likelihood to 6%.

Adoption was not our first choice, but it was the right one for us.

Fast forward years of saving, and participating in our credit union's Savings Race, and we get to the point where we *almost* have all the money we need and finally met with and chose an adoption agency to help us along this exciting, confusing, painful, and wonderful journey.  In October of 2009 (on our 9th wedding anniversary) we mailed in our profile books to Adoption Link to be passed around to potential birth mothers.

IAC Summer Picnic Joy

Today we went to the IAC summer picnic and carpooled with another IAC parent-in-waiting.  We met a lot of wonderful folks both parents with kids and those like us that are waiting.  We felt very welcomed and those parents we met were very kind to tell us their story.  We did notice a few birth parents but didn't have a chance to mingle much with them as they were very attentive to both the adoptive parents and others (i.e. case workers etc.).  We were told that this year's event was not as large as prior years but there were plenty of happy faces.  We were inspired by a couple that we met at the IAC orientation event and they recently adopted.  The mother had some recent tips such as entering our profile here at Parent Gallery so we are giving it a try.  So this is our first blog and hope the "spirits of the universe" hear us.

Our adoption journey so far

My husband and I were victims of an adoption scam. When we realized what happened, we stopped all communication with the fake agency and called the police. Nothing ever happened. My local law enforcement agency did not have jurisdiction, my case did not meet the financial threshold for the FBI, and the Kansas police had insufficient evidence to prosecute. So Faithful Adoptions continued to operate.  No one cares about little people like me. We are irrelevant. Adoption scam is the cruelest crime anyone can experience. When a couple has fertility problems they must depend on complete strangers to help them create a family. This is an intimidating reality, because the couple has no personal control. Now imagine a group of people taking advantage of a couple’s desperation to start a family. What a sad way to steal huh?  

Starry skies and a chandelier in the baby's room! We promise ABSOLUTE LOVE!

A friend of ours is making a documentary film on the Hubble telescope and we were thinking of asking him to make a little film with us! He loves the idea! He'll have to include the little chandelier we put up in the baby's room. Everything's ready except for the draperies...we pick out the fabric tomorrow...and of course, the baby who will share a magical life of absolute love with us...with opportunities, creativity, organic home-made meals, great bedtime stories (we're both authors), music and, of course, a telescope to see the universe! Anyway, until we make our little movie, please take a look at our site: http://www.lorenandpaul.com (Nantucket is a great place to see stars...and seals!)

My Foster Girls Are Leaving Tonight. :(

We've had the girls for 25 days and now they get to go back home to live with their great grand mother. I am so sad to see them go, but when I heard the joy and excitement in their voice when I told them that they were going to go stay with there Nana "for a long time" it felt bitter sweet. They sounded like they had just been told they were going to Disney World. I am SOOOO happy that they get to go back to live with their family and that they want to go there, but I am so sad for myself, because I will never get to see or hear from or about them again. I keep trying to remind myself that it is for the best and that things always work out the way they should, but I am a selfish being (who isn't?!) and I don't want to get hurt anymore without having a perminant child in my life to call my own.
