i don't know if this is an option but foster care with the option to adopt.  there are so many kids out there that need homes!  My sister in law tried to go through adopting but it was such a long process so they went into foster care parents and they adopted there 1st son within a years time.   the only hard part is if they do go back to the bio parents after being attached to them!

You could adopt, there is more to being a parent that sharing DNA.  You would have your female child, and be making her life much better than it was.

really good question. i have 4 boys and 1 girl. my daughter and i have always been super close. she does so much for me, and is very loving and kind. my 1st son died a few years ago. my 2nd son is really good to me...lives down the street. he shows his love to me more through material things, but i know he'd do anything for me. my 3rd son is adopted...from birth...and is severely mentally ill (extreme drug and alcohol use while in utero). he's been extremely difficult and has brought a lot of fear, sadness, and trauma to the rest of us. but we've always shown him that we love him...he just doesn't have the capability to show love. sadly, he has chosen to live unmedicated, and his life isn't an easy one. he would probably do anything for me if i asked him to, but he has chosen to seperate himself from the family...it's sad. my son-in-law is very much my son too, and he shows me daily how much he cares about me...i'm very lucky to have these awesome "kids" in my life.

My birth mother found me, but it took years.  She knew only my Adopted last name and the religion of my parents.  she researched painstakingly through computer phone books.  Since then(98) I have helped others.  No money required.  Contact me, and give me what info you do have.  I can help.

I would like a stable life but I have a family that's way too dysfunctional for that. My life is rather exciting, full of huge ups and downs. Its not ideal but its what I have so I've learned to deal with it. Drama stalks me. I think its because I attract crazy people, haha.

I have 3 siblings, two are brothers and one is a sister, I am a girl, too. So in my family my mother had 4 children. When I am older I only want one child, because two or more seems just way too much for me. I want to adopt my child from Peru, too. She will be a girl, and I will name her Fate, or Faith. If I get married probably Faith, but if not Fate. Yeah, I kinda have my whole life planned already, but who knows what will really happen.\n\nJust because I am such an open person, I will tell you all of my plans. =) Okay, first off I will go to college and learn all about therapy and things like that, I want to either be a massage therapist or physical therapist. Anyways, once I get a job I will move somewhere by the mountains, and have a cabin to myself there. I dont plan to get married, because I just dont do well with the opposite sex. Anyways, so when I feel I have my life in a good place I will adopt my child from Peru, and name her little Fate Morgan. Or Faith Morgan... anyways. I will take defense classes and learn how to defend myself, and I will buy a rifle, for protection only! Yeah, my life sounds cool, huh? =)\n\nIf you want to talk to me about this email me at goodbye.heartache@yahoo.com, love to hear from you!

I am not adopted. But adoption is an issue close to my heart. Trying to share my thoughts here:\n\nIf you really are bothered by this question, I think you should explore this;  no one can blame you for it! As midn'tsmokerchic says, it might be a good step for you.\n\nBut the responses, in short term and long term, might depend on the personalities of the other people involved. Would there be a way to contact your birth-mother's parents, siblings or friends first? This might not only let you learn more about her but also help you learn about her husband and other children before meeting them.\n\nGoodluck to you!

I am adopted, possibly from a rape.  I agree that it violates the mom's rights, and could torment the child from this sort of situation.  I am grateful she gave me up to a family that does love me. I am sorry for what she went through, and once I found out about it, I stopped any further searching for other family.  There are families out there who want children and cannot have them.  Adoption is a great answer, not abortion.  Sorry, my opinion.  I  am glad I was not sucked down a sink!

Steps for Locating Adoptees, Birth Parents, and Adoption Records\nIt is estimated that 2% of the U.S. population, or about 6 million Americans, are adoptees. Including biological parents, adoptive parents, and siblings, this means that 1 in 8 Americans are directly touched by adoption. Surveys show that a large majority of these adoptees and birth parents have, at some point, actively searched for biological parents or children separated by adoption. They search for many different reasons, including medical knowledge, the desire to know more about the individual's life, or a major life event, such as the death of an adoptive parent or the birth of a child. The most common reason given, however, is genetic curiosity - a desire to find what a birth parent or child looks like, their talents, and their personality. \nWhatever your reasons for deciding to start an adoption search, it is important to realize that it will most likely be a difficult, emotional adventure, full of amazing highs and frustrating lows. Once you're ready to undertake an adoption search, however, these steps will help you get started on the journey. \n\nBeginning the Search \nThe first objective of an adoption search is to discover the names of the birth parents who gave you up for adoption, or the identity of the child you relinquished. \n\nJust like a genealogy search, an adoption search should always begin with yourself. Write down everything you know about your birth and adoption, from the name of the hospital in which you were born to the agency which handled your adoption. \n\nThe best place to turn next, is your adoptive parents. They are the ones most likely to hold possible clues. Write down every bit of information they can provide, no matter how insignificant it may seem. If you feel comfortable, then you can also approach relatives and family friends with your questions. \n\nGather together all available documents. Ask your adoptive parents or contact the appropriate government official for documents such as an amended birth certificate, petition for adoption, and the final decree of adoption. \n\nContact the Agency or the State that handled your adoption for your non-identifying information. This non-identifying information will be released to the adoptee, adoptive parents, or birthparents, and may include clues to help you in your adoption search. The amount of information varies depending upon the details that were recorded at the time of the birth and adoption. Each agency, governed by state law and agency policy, releases what is considered appropriate and non-identifying, and may include details on the adoptee, adoptive parents, and birth parents such as: \nMedical history \nHealth status \nCause of and age at death \nHeight, weight, eye, hair color \nEthnic origins \nLevel of education \nProfessional achievement \nReligion \nOn some occasions, this non-identifying information may also include the parents ages at time of birth, the age and sex of other children, hobbies, general geographical location, and even the reasons for the adoption. \n\n\nRegister in State and National Reunion Registries, also known as Mutual Consent Registries, which are maintained by government or private individuals. These registries work by allowing each member of the adoption triad to register, hoping to be matched with someone else who might be searching for them. One of the best is the International Soundex Reunion Registry (ISRR). \n\nJoin an adoption support group or mailing list. Beyond supplying much needed emotional support, adoption support groups can also provide you with information concerning current laws, new search techniques, and up-to-date information. Adoption search angels may also be available to assist with your adoption search. \n\nIf you're very serious about your adoption search and have the financial resources (there is usually a substantial fee involved), consider petitioning for the services of a Confidential Intermediary (CI
