Welcome to Litsy!

Are you wanting to adopt domestically, but you are overwhelmed about the process? My husband and I supply information on what we learned after adopting twice in the U.S, good and bad, and offer advice that was given to us by adoption professionals. We share what expenses we incurred, and "talk" to you as if you are sitting in front of us. Questions answered: 1. Why join a support group? 2. What should be in your adoption profile? 3. Reasons why family members and friends are unsupportive, and some advice to handle this. 4. What types of information that your social worker is looking for to complete your homestudy, and questions he of she will most likely ask you 5. Meeting the expectant family for the first time and hospital visits 6. Expenses we encountered, information about taxes and so on. 7. Information about open adoption, and how we contact with our children's biological families. 8. Twenty questions to ask an agency and/or attorney before you work with he or she on an adoption placement. 9. Many tips throughout the book on what we learned good and bad with our adoptions and others we know that have adopted, or are adopted. 10.
