[quote=Anonymous]No experience with adoption personally, but if you feel like this is your calling, so to speak, I say go forward and start looking into it. If these two boys are calling to you, I would move forward by contacting the agency and take it from there. I have two friends who did foster to adopt and in the end, both children returned to their birth mothers. While they knew this was a possibility, it has been incredibly painful for both of them to go through. Both of them got the children as newborns out of the hospital and one was returned at 18 months after the father decided to parent, and the other one was with a friend for almost three years and the mother ended up being granted custody after a long court battle. I guess my feeling is, it seems you are drawn to these two boys overseas already- why not look into their situation first and see if you qualify and what it would entail making them a part of your family. Good luck to you![/quote]
