    Congratulations. Regarding when to tell her its purely you and ur Dh should decide. As far as i know, my friend has adopted a girl when the baby was 1 year and she is now 6 till now they have not told her. So i dont think there is a rule as to when and how to tell the kid.

    hi all,
    am new to this forum and wish to ask your opinions on adoption. we want to adopt a child 1-2 years old.

    could you please tell what will the be total cost for adopting a child ?

    what will this money be used for - legal process or donation to the adoption agency ?

    we are interested in adopting a child but want to be careful about the money matters, so asking the experience of those who have successfully adopted a child in these 5 years.

    if you can give the total cost as it occured to you, then we can also be prepared with that amount of money plus or minus
