Have any adult CFers/tx patients on this site adopted a baby?

Wondering about any obstacles you came up against because of your health? Did certain adoption agencies or specific countries have rules against "sick" people adopting? Are certain agencies/countries less strict? Curious for any info you guys might have.
Thanks

Allie is a great person to speak to about this. I'm sure she'll reply once she sees the message <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Thanks for the FYI. I've seen some of her postings, but didn't know she had any connection with adoption. Hope she responds!!!

Allie's adoption was private so Ry's health issues werent a concern like you would have thru an adoption agency, but I am sure she could still offer guidance.

Allie and Ry tried more than one agency (if I remember correctly) before they got Ahava. They did have to figure out whether or not to tell about Ry's CF, etc. She'll be good to talk to, like Amy said. And I'm also sure she'll respond once she sees it.

My DH and I considered adoption before trying IVF and I know the one agency we checked with was OK as long as I had a doctor letter stating my health was in a state at the time that I was at least capable of caring for a child or something like that. I know it sounds like a privacy violation having to have that and it may be a bit but the case studies for adoptions are VERY in depth leaving little privacy in general any ways and I would NOT recommend 'not revealing' somthing from those I know who have done it that would be a huge problem were it uncovered.
