While growing up and dreaming of one day being a parent, growing your family through adoption may not have crossed your mind. If you are now attempting to grow your family through pregnancy and have been unsuccessful, that will often be a traumatic experience. Before considering adoption, it is important to fully come to grips and accept infertility.
The Adoption STAR website has a self-assessment tool that may assist you with this exploration. When you are finished taking the self-assesment, you may wish to take a second quiz that may help you decide if are ready to consider adoption. It is important to answer all of the questions honestly so you can utilize this questionnaire as a self-assessment tool to help you determine your plans in the future.
If you would like to assess whether or not you are ready to stop attempting to become pregnant and consider adoption as an option, this quiz may help. Please remember adoption may cure childlessness but it will not cure infertility.
If you believe you are ready to consider adoption there are many ways to contact Adoption STAR. You can email us at info@adoptionstar.com, call the office at (716)639-3900 or fill out this contact form.
Personally adoption has always been in my heart and in my mind. My great grandmother adopted two children after having 3 biological children. So as a child, teenager and young adult I planned I would meet the right man have a baby or two and then adopt, like my Grandma Lucell did. Well come to find out I can’t have kids, biological ones that is. So for me it seem very natural to move on to the adoption process. I am not saying I did not grieve for the loss of the dream to have biological children or the loss of 4 years trying to have children. It just made it a little bit easier to accept God’s plan for us.
