I don't know anyone now. My 3rd grade teacher adopted two girls from China.
-
I know several. Two families with international adoptions and 1 family with domestic adoptions.
-
My little sister is adopted. It was through foster care. Since she is Asian most people assume she wasn't born in the US and are so confused when we say she is from America when asked. Other than that, I went to school with two people who were adopted.
-
My parents adopted my siblings and I know a few families who have adopted.
-
My little cousin is adopted. Domestic adoption.
-
Some of our best family friends (and still my parents good friends) growing up adopted both of their sons.
A coworker of mine is currently in the process of adopting his son from Haiti.
-
Yes, off the top of my head I can think of my stepmom's cousin (who lives in Korea and did an adoption there) and a professor I was close with, who adopted twin girls.
-
Yep, a family I babysat for adopted one girl, then had a bio daughter, then adopted to biological half-sister of the first adopted daughter.
Also, a friend of mine from high school has a brother who was.adopted, and one of DH's friends was adopted.
-
One of my coworkers has two adopted children and one of my husband's cousins is adopted.
-
I don't know him very well but a friend's bandmate and his wife adopted two little girls from China.
-
Some family friends, but nobody that I'm close to. It's been so interesting learning more about adoption on HB.
-
My sister...
-
Lots! Domestically and internationally.
-
I babysat and grew up with two families that have both biological and adopted (domestic) kids. One family adopted and then conceived (also had a late term loss and went through some fertility treatments). The other Family had a bio child and then I think had secondary fertility issues or just choose to adopt. Both are integrated really well into the family.
-
Oh I did date a guy with an adopted sister. Apparently he didn't like her (even though she was adopted young) and said she had a lot of emotional issues that really messed with their family I guess. I was upset because I wanted a husband who would be open to adoption and he wasn't.
-
My Dad's cousin adopted their oldest child.

One of my law school professors adopted a daughter from China, when they went to bring her home it was just the best reason for class to be cancelled! Our neighbors also have two adopted sons (domestic) who are HS/college-aged.
-
My sister adopted twin boys. DH and I were approved for adoption 1 week before we got a BFP and had to be put on hold. We will probably resume the process this spring.

Several of my parents' friends have adopted children and I knew several kids who had been adopted growing up.

My old manager was adopted as a baby but he found out much later (in high school). It was hard on him when he found out at first but he came to terms with it eventually.
-
Have any of you read about twin sisters separated at birth and both were adopted by different families? They found each other through FB. Amazing story!
