Answer 2

Do you mean private adoption? It depends on what state your in. Some restrict advertising or using facilitators. I would google adoption and your state name and see what the laws are. It is very possible to do ..most of the people I know have gone private vs with an agency because of the outrageous costs.

Answer 3

You'll need to get a homestudy from a social worker, and eventually you'll need someone familiar with the court system to finalize the adoption.  Everything in between, you can do yourself if you want!

Hi there i am sorry that you and your husband can not have children.

I am 6mnths pregnant and are looking for someone to adopt my unborn child.  I have been through the agencies and have not really had much success with them and also looked on the internet but can not find the right people for my buddle of joy.

I am now considering doing a personal adoption to the right couple if you are interested please contact me .
