Re: Cap'n Serious

  • Thanks for asking.  I think for now, we've decided to stay the course.  We've sent our response to Peru's questions about our fertility, and will wait to see if they approve us. If so, we will most likely end up adopting off the list of waiting children.  We've reviewed it, and are very interested in a couple of situations, but are waiting to see if we get approved before getting the files officially translated and reviewed by a doctor.  So, hopefully we'll know something in a month or so, and we'll be able to adopt without waiting for them to match us in 2-3 years.If they don't approve us, let's just say we'll be beyond pissed.
  • I'm glad that Peru is not a closed door at this point.  I know how much you've put into this program and I hope it works out for you.

  • What Groomz said. I'm hoping for you guys. Do you guys meet the kid or the family first or is it all done by the time you get to Peru?

  • Thanks, mouse.  No, you are not allowed to meet a child you might adopt before hand. If we are interested in a child on the list, we get the child's complete file upfront, with family history, emotional, and medical information, and have to make a decision based on that.  If we request to parent and are granted the opportunity, we can't refuse without risking getting thrown out of the program. If we wait for a match, the referral will come with the file, and we have a few days to review it and give an answer.In either case, the only way you can refuse a referral without getting thrown out is if there something was undisclosed or misrepresented in the file, and even then, it usually would have to be medical in nature.
  • I guess it probably leads to more fairness, but one of the things that freaks me out a little about giving birth is having no idea who this kid is. We can't even decide on a name because I feel like I should meet him first (and really what an awkward to meet someone for the first time- they're all naked and just came through your vag). I hope your first meeting is much less awkward and just as special.

    I'm pretty sure it's pronounced your mom's a moron and if you didn't have your name legally changed by the age of 22, so are you. Unless you're from another continent. -Groomz
