Many people have asked me how I decided to adopt in Haiti and there truly isn't one good answer....there are multiple! I have wanted to adopt for sometime, long before many of you even knew. I tried to adopt domestically, however that was obviously not what was in the cards for me. I talked to my caseworker at the agency and we discussed my options and Haiti was one of those. I thought & prayed for almost 10 months...until I knew for sure and I finally made the call. That call occurred at the end of October and now I am officially waiting!
So why Haiti...well one reason is they are open to single parents, so that was a plus. Haiti is truly not that far from here and I know that down the road, I could always take my little one back to see where he or she started life. Financially it worked or was "workable". And four... I have a connection to Haiti. My cousin was adopted from Haiti. I love that my little one will always have a connection to where they came from.
The day I made my decision, it felt right and that was the best feeling ever!
