Concerns

There are a lot of things we have thought about as we have considered adoption. For me, I personally know four people who are adopted. One of which is my sister, one was my pastor's daughter, and two were friends I grew up with. At times I have seen discontent with some of these people because they were adopted. I worry sometimes, that maybe my child, when they get older will have that same discontent.

Another big worry for both of us is finances. While we know we can support a child, the cost of adoption is pretty insane depending on the situation. Most people just don't have that kind of money laying around. I know I don't, and it would take years to save it up. I worry we will find what seems to be the perfect match and we will be unable to come up with the money. This is going to require much support from family and friends plus an all out trust that God will provide.

There is also the thought that the birth mother will change her mind. It would be so hard to believe you will be bringing your child home or have brought your child home, only to have him/her taken away.

There are so many things to worry about but you have to trust God will place everything in line. It is a hard process but we know it will all be worth it in the end.
