Expert Profile: Colleen

Expertise: I can answer questions about the adoption process. I don't handle questions about searches for adoptive parents.
I have three adopted children. The two youngest were adopted as infants. In both cases, we dealt with the birthmother during her pregnancy and a bit afterwards. Our children are now old enough to begin asking questions and we are dealing with those issues.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: We adopted our two youngest children by advertising in the newspaper.
