I’m 26 years old. I have two children of my own. I want more children. Just one more. BUT I don’t want to get pregnant. And was thinking of adopting. I’m from NM. (New Mex.) And idk how the process or what requirements are. But. What are some opinions. I don’t care how old they are. Just as long as I give them a loving home. Schooling.

My state…there’s a lot of siblings because they want to be kept together and a lot won’t keep together…so I know u want one but don’t shy away…or the family!y adopts one then a sibling pops up And the family Is contacted asked to take the new sibling… And older kids like 5+ are left in the system because they are too old, not cute, damaged. Please don’t give up. Also understand there could be trauma. I read woman on other mom page adopted a 15yr old and she was hiding food so the adopted mom locked all the cupboards, fridge to stop her…but the kid was hiding food cause of previous homes abusing her by denying food… My great aunt is 75 and started adopting kids and fostering when she was 25. She has had over 30 kids come through her home! Older kids, special needs, disabled, siblings, cousins. And even at her age she runs around like she’s in her 40s and in perfect health so she keeps getting to foster/adopt she said its the greatest joy!

I know one of my friends did the foster to adopt. (Also NM) Said it was the easiest way but another said it was hard because it can take a long time especially when the system is set up for reunification

Maybe try contacting the nearest children’s court to you? Not sure that’s just what my thought would be
I’m also from New Mexico! Like everyone is suggesting, contact your local CPS (Ours is CYFD), they do foster to adopt, if that’s the route you’re wanting to go. If not wanting to foster, without being able to adopt, My personal opinion, it wasn’t for us. We’re looking into privately adopting, costs alot, but we’d rather do that way, simply because of the way we were treated. Adopting from foster care, however, is little to no cost! Best of wishes on your journey!

Bad idea to adopt any children that are older than your own. I strongly discourage it.

Contact you’re ( cyfd ) down their see what you can do that’s probably where you need to start first.
I get paid over $ 130 per hour w0rking from home. I never thought l’d be able to do it but my colleague makes over $ 16076 a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The possibility with this is limitless.

Foster to adopt is a great idea, you would contact your local department of human services and they can give you more info, you start with an informal class that gives you info on what all goes into it and you get to ask any questions you have. If that’s not the thing for you you can look for local adoption agencies. Me and my husband will be starting the process for foster to adopt really soon!
