3) Child care was covered 100% until they reached the age of 6.
4) Classes that are required and the home study that is required to adopt are painless and don’t take more than a few months to complete.
5) Until they reach 18, I am sent a credit each month to help with costs of raising them.
6) There are so many resources to help you with post adoption needs.
(I can’t speak for every state. They all do things differently. This was just my experience in oklahoma)
The point of this whole post, is that these 2 beautiful children get a real chance at life. They aren’t burdened with all of the “inconveniences” life could have dealt them in foster care. They know love, they know security, they have every opportunity in life now. If I would have been concerned with what was “convenient” for me, who knows what would have happened to Kary Ann and Logan.
If you have thought about adoption, I’d love to chat.
Feel free to share… l’d love for our story to encourage others to consider adoption ❤️
I love how she sums up WHY the foster/adoption struggle is SO worth it, and I think it bears repeating:

THANK YOU, Michelle, for sharing your heart! Like I said, I hope you will all share Michelle’s story on Facebook and spread the word about how the “inconveniences” of foster care and adoption are so worth the little lives they change for the better.
