Question

another playmate at home, I told her we would look into it as soon as we get settled in another house after we get our house sold. Is there a way to go about adopting a child when you don't haver much money?

Answer 1

Adopting a child...so that your child will have a playmate at home...is a recipe for disaster.....

Foster Mom

Answer 2

Maybe she could have a friend come over and have dinners and sleep overs, but she needs to know how someone would feel if they was adopted just because someone needed a playmate. Ask how she would feel if she was the family pet, someone you could give back if they weren't perfect. Don't be harsh but teach her some life appreciation, Help her to think about others in a different way instead of mine and yours stuff. And be patient and walk her through it and don't forget to reward her for trying, Have fun and be creative.

Do you want to have more kids?  If you do then the cheapest way to adopt that may cost you next to nothing is to go throught the foster are adoption program in your state of residence and wait until there is a match for your family whih may take 6 months to 18 months.  Most kids in foster care that are available for adoption are older or sibling groups and would be great playmates for your 9 year old.  But make sure you really want the responsibility of being a parent again. If your 9 year old needs a playmate put her in a team sport or take her to the park everyday so she can meet some friends.  Also you can go to the school and find out who are her friends and offer you personal information to the parents so you can set up play dates for your daughter.  This may suffice and you don't have to go through this whole adoption process.  Maybe you should play with her some more and she wouldn't feel the need for a playmate.  Take out the barbies or bratz and have a tea party with her.  Maybe she just needs more of your attention.  Good luck

Answer 5

Adopting a child to please your first child is not a good reason.

If you cannot afford and/or do not want another child at this time, for Heaven's sake, get her a puppy or a kitty!

Answer 6

ask her if she wants a puppy or a kitten to play with and then if she still want another then think about it. x
