Adopting a child can be a wonderful experience.  It can also be a confusing process full of emotional ups and downs and leave you feeling you have more questions than answers.  At the end of the day you may feel you need the help and emotional support of people who have done this before. In fact you may have many questions as to how the adoption process works, child adoption laws, who qualifies to adopt, where best to go to adopt a child, which child is right for you, not to mention financial, medical and other concerns.
