Hi all!

My family may be adding two girls to our family very soon. We are expecting a home visit within a week. The foster parents will be bringing both of the girls to our house to meet the whole family. I visited them this past weekend and they are both so sweet. The foster parents are very nice and the girls have been brought up in a very nice home in a very very nice neighborhood.

Here is a picture of them. I have never adopted before and I am very nervous. I really hope it works out.

OMG they are so damn cute :D You are so lucky, they are adorable!! PS I thought you were talking about kiddos :p
 
You are too funny! Your babies are ADORABLE!!!

I just received a similar email from DH's cousin saying they missed the pitter-patter of little feet so they made an addition to their family! It was funny because her DH got "fixed" after the last baby.

By the way, they are sisters. They have the same mother, but there is strong speculation they have different fathers.

Same litter, but still different fathers. There were five in the litter. The first three adopted out quickly and these two went into foster care.

We were not actively looking for a dog. This picture was in one of our papers as the pets of the week. The one with black and grey fur looks very much like my dog growing up. The strangest part is my dog was named Scarlett and this dog's name is Scarlett. The other one is named Daisy. I just decided I needed to look into adopting them.

We really do need to go through a home visit to make sure we have a safe home where they will be loved and will receive the best possible care.

One more thing...

When I was visiting them, one of them picked up a bone, the other put the other half in her mouth and they walked around together. They were not fighting over the bone, they were actually sharing it.

Okay, let' hear a collective "Awwww...."
 
LolAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

LOL

Those are the cutest babies I have ever seen - with the exception of mine, of course! I have 2 miniature schnauzers - the sister on the right definitely looks schnauzeresque! Enjoy them - I am so happy you are giving these sweet girls a home!!
 
Lisa Lisa Lisa!! I am going to kick you the next time I see you! I was sitting here reading this about to get all emotional and thinking that you have such a big heart and that you'll have to get another house......(and then yell at you for not telling me earlier). You are such the tease.

btw, they are quite adorable

My first thought when I read the title of this thread? I hope they are dogs. Maybe I'm psychotic. . . I mean psychic. :D

Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to adopt two five-month-old girls?

Adopting two five-month-old girls means that you are legally becoming their parent or guardian. This process involves taking on the responsibilities of raising them, providing for their needs, and giving them a loving home.

What are the steps involved in the adoption process?

The adoption process typically includes several steps: completing a home study, submitting an application, undergoing background checks, and attending interviews. Once approved, you may be matched with children, and after that, there will be a placement period before finalizing the adoption in court.

How can I prepare for the arrival of the girls?

Preparing for the arrival of the girls involves creating a safe and welcoming environment, gathering necessary baby supplies, and educating yourself about infant care. It’s also helpful to connect with support groups or resources for adoptive parents.

What challenges might we face when adopting infants?

Challenges may include adjusting to the demands of caring for two infants, potential attachment issues, and navigating the emotional complexities of adoption. It's important to seek support from family, friends, and professionals to help manage these challenges.

How can friends and family support us during this transition?

Friends and family can support you by offering practical help, such as babysitting, meal preparation, or helping with household chores. Emotional support is equally important, so being there to listen and encourage you during this transition can make a significant difference.
