We Paul told me that he would be willing to adopt a baby. So I called agencies here in Oklahoma. There is not a single one that will let you adopt with out being a member of a church. You have to also attend. That wouldn't be a problem for me because I use to go and I do need to go back. But Paul, he will not go to church. So I talked to one of the agencies today and they told me the same thing.
My poor OB. I went to the doctor for my yearly and all I could do was cry the whole d**n time I was there. I stating to feel defeated and broke. He did tell me that if we decide to get pregnant that he will try to do everything to see us through a full term pregnancy.

I know how much you want a child to raise and have a future with. It is hard to want a child so bad and not be able to have one I know it will still be a couple years before I will be able to have another child. I don't mean to get personal but does your husband not believe in God which is understandable after all you 2 have been through! Maybe if he wants to adopt a child he will come around and go to church he doesn't have to keep going just to make apperance for the adoption agency maybe? Good luck I will keep you both in my prayers and thoughts. I do not think that should be a requirement for adoption but I guess they make the rules (((HUGS))) ~Stacey

(((((((((((massive hugs))))))))))))))) Totally understand why you got so upset, that was nice of your doc to be positive - I have to say that dh and i have also considered adoption - it is very different here in the UK you cant have private adoptions - it is through the local authority and they are very strict too - there are only 5% of all adoptions of babies under 1 year old and they go to younger fitter parents so I dont hold out much hope if we go for that, I wish you well and hope that you have your baby one day , dont give up hope , Kayxx

((((((HUGS))))) Sorry you have to be a member and attend church in order to adopt. I wish Paul would agree to try it (although I am not one to talk has been extremely difficult for me to attend church since Isaiah died). Hope, hope, hope that somehow this all works out!

So I have been calling every where. I have found several agencies that are out of state that will work with adoptive families all over the US. I'm so hoping we can do this. I cant believe how expensive it is to adopt.

I am shocked! I have never heard of such a thing. Many people do not attend church. Everyone has their own belief system and who is to judge which is the right one. I have never heard of attending church as a prerequisite to giving a child a home. I would check to see what is out there. There have to be adoption agencies that are not religiously based.
Good luck.
