While my wife isn't pregnant, we both strongly feel that adopting a newborn is the right choice for us(for atleast our first kid). We are in the process of getting our homestudy completed and getting all the paperwork in and getting a profile up for birthmothers to see.
We have considered the county foster to adopt, but as a first kid we really want a newborn and through the county it is rare to get newborns(from what they say). If we adopt a second or third kid later in life, we would probably go this route though. We just really want to get all the experiences of the stages of life.
Its exciting news...we are in the process of saving and raising money because adoptions through an agency cost a pretty penny... but we are feel its worth it... just wanted to share because i am excited
we are very open on gender or race so the process should go quicker, we are also doing a domestic adoption as international adoptions require more legal work... now its time to set the room up for the homestudy and save save save...
if anyone has adopted and have tips or good info...please share!

I heard adoption is super expensive...I'm sure you guys will figure something out though.
We used the Social Security name database to help select which names we wouldn't use. Anything in the top 50 was immediately off the table.

You can figure out what names mean, and find what names are popular. That way you can avoid the really popular names, or find names that are popular in different countries, too.
Congratulations!
