  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

That's because every site does have different regulations. Firts, you need to decide what type of adoption you want. An open adoption, you have open communication with the birth parents or mother and they or she has visitation. A semi-open adoption, you meet the parents or mother and work with them throughout the pregnancy and niether exchange contact information. Then all contact is done through the agency. A closed adoption, you have no contact with the birth parents and they do not visit the child. An oversees adoption, you adopt a child from another country such as Koria or China. In this type of adoption, most cases have little of no contact with the birth parents. Another similar type is to adopt from somwhere like Brazil, Mexico, or Canada. You can also go through the social services in your area and find orphans, children who have been abandoned, abused, neglected, or varius or problems. It really depends on the type of adoption you are looking for. After you decide that, it really narrows down the search.

(I've done a lot of research on this subject because I plan too adopt after marriage. I wish to adopt a group of siblings, because they are harder to place.)
