Welcome

Welcome to The Forgotten Adoption Option App - your guide for adopting child(ren) through the foster care system!

This free application is a companion for the book “The Forgotten Adoption Option: A Self-Reflection and How-To Guide for Pursuing Foster Care Adoption”

By teasing out all the to-do items from the book, my global volunteer team and I hope you can understand how to adopt waiting children in a concise way so that children who are waiting will one day meet you - their forever family.

On the left, you’ll see 8 steps to the process. Clicking each step gives you a short list of things to do to prepare. These can range from increasing your knowledge about the child(ren) you will adopt and discussion questions to activities like making a family book or preparing your home to pass the home study.

Along the top, we added quick access to browser profiles of waiting children and some worthwhile links like FAQs and ways to Get Your Feet Wet.

Deciding to adopt and navigating this process are very heavy life decisions. I have traveled this path adopting my sibling pair who are now middle schoolers. As you jump in or browse around, I am eager to be a listening ear and guide. Just use the Contact button at the bottom to send me a direct message.

Cheering you on,
