Child Adoption


Hi angel, 1st step is to attend compulsory per adoption talk. They will give u more info.
Pls reg erly cos the wait is almost 2 mths.
U reg at the adoption portal @ Mcys website
 
Angel.. There are information on the Adoption process in mcys.. I suggest u read up on this. .Look at the list of documents u and hb need to prepare. Choose your vwo for the hsr and u will need to have all the documents ready before an Interview is arrange.. Before all these, need to attend Pab..
 
Pokoyo : I used SBL! They r pretty alright .. I used them coz they're nearer to my place but they turned out alright.. My assessor was quite nice. N they r pretty efficient too!
 
Hi, LAtan,

Oh dear, how do I set up pm? Took me a while to figure out how to get into fb! ; ) It's ok... You can email me [email protected]. But beware the turnaround time of my replies may take a while as for now.. My baby demands attention!!! Ha... I usually get to check online when it's dark, provided I can stay awake! : )
 
Pokoyo : one point to note thou.. Touch does placements too. If u wanna register w them then u will need to do hsr with them.

If u r using other adoption agencies to adopt foreign babies then it doesn't matter who u go to.

My bb will b here on sat
 
Ala, thanks. If u want to activate your private message setting, you need to go to profile then preferences and take it from there.
 
Noted undecided. My PAB talk was with touch. Thou they do placement, they say tat is not a lot cos if only they happen to hv one suitable, then they will do a matching. So we'll b getting our own agency.
U muz b very excited!! Hapi for u too
 
Lai Ling : thanks!! she'll be 18 days old when she arrives sin!

Pokoyo : yeah.. Local babies thru them or project cherub r far n few beyond.. I'm soooo excited!! Even thou I'm enjoying Hong Kong but I can't wait for Sat!!!

Will keep u guys posted!!
 
undecided: congratulations to the new happy mummy.

yes lai ling, i feel the younger the better cos more them to grow and bond with them. At young age, they will be more adaptable and less issues due to change of caregiver. cos bb recognise caregiver by smell and sounds.
 
Hi, I have attended the PAB and embarking on the HSR now. May I know if we can do our healthcheck at polyclinics? How long does it take for the results to be out?

Also, I've been inspired by some of the ladies who have posted here a few years ago and I hear some of them have formed a support group and forged some great friendships till now. For those who are currently embarking on this journey, would anyone else like to get in touch/ meet up and hopefully we can have a support group to provide listening ear for the road ahead, not just for ourselves but for our babies-to-come? =)
 
By the way LATan, how do you plan to find a child yourself? Interestingly I have also thought about that.. but a bit clueless so far haha
 
hopewaves: yes, I am definitely for the support group. That is why I am on this forum. I feel as if I have many sisters here who can help each other out throughout our journey in motherhood. I am still exploring and finding out about searching for a child by myself. Though the task seems overwhelming. We may, in the end, go through agency. Not sure yet. You can pm me if you want to keep in touch.
 
hi pokoyo, jass & little girl,

apologies for the late reply as i was away. i have not done anything as i am rather clueless and not sure if i am ready for this

i have a rather different situation, i suffered from kidney failure in the recent years and last year, my hubby donated a kidney for me, but i m not young anymore, and is now under medication so i am worried if i can carry a baby, though doc do say it is ok, but i really want to have a higher chance of getting a baby so i tot adoption is one way, in fact this has been in my mind all along, but somehow i just hang on and did not do anymore to it.....
 
Hi Angel,

It must be hard for you to go through the kidney transplant and the various health issues you're grappling with. *Hugs* I'm also at the initial stage of my adoption journey.. If you like we can journey together take care.
 
Esther I am waiting for child citizenship. I applied birth cert in sep end. So they told me max two months for citizenship. Birth cert was issued on the spot.
 
Hi BellsBells, I submitted mine on July 11, 2012 & till now I have yet to receive any good news from ICA. Don't know what is happening & DP will expired Dec 1, 2012. SIGH! Yes birth cert was issued on the spot.
 
Esther did u go https://ienquiry.ica.gov.sg than login using Sing pass. See whether the status is still processing or already approved. If already approved than probably u hv missed their call or something. Depends on whose name u register under during birth cert than use that name for sing pass.
 
Hi. I just joined the group. I am waiting for my HSR interview. Can anyone share budget for adoption and also agency that you went through and also, if anyone went through any foreign orphanage yourself. Thanks very much.
 
Hi JR : welcome to d group!

Budget is around 30k to b safe..

Agencies used - few of us used lovely, one from lotus n another from joyful.

We do have a fb group.. U can join us for discussions there
 
Hi littlegirl / bellbell, I have been calling & emailing & everyday checking on iequiry but it keeps showing pending. Making me freaking anxious what is going on. I called yesterday & told me its in the final stage whether approved or rejected & it will take another 1 month. SIGH!!!!
 
anyone knows if bb comes already, can parents leave the country for few days. of coz bb is in good hands with the grandparents.
 
Hi mary,
I do not feel safe to leave bb in grandparents place without us ard. scare MCYS called to check and if they find we not ard, their imagination go wild....
Maybe I am paranoid.

Thats why I am also delaying my viewing of bb till end dec cos i going for a holi trip in mid dec.

Esther, maybe you need to highlight to them that your dependent pass is expiring soon and see if they can expediate.
 
Hi Sunshine,
I am not sure if they will fail you for HSR but in the HSR application form , there is a question asking how do you intend to pay for the high cost of adoption. Guess if you are able to answer that, shouldnt be a prob ba.

Hi JR,
I am going with Lotus. Just got my HSR, putting in request to view bb only after 20th dec when I am back from my holi trip.so most prob, i might get end dec or jan bb
 
Thanks undecided. Am very glad that there's a place for us to share info and get advise with others who are going through the process, been through it or considering it. Very helpful and we all need the support. I just sent a request to SG Adoption in fb - is that the right FB?
 
Hi Little Girl - thanks for the tip on agency. I'm excited and scared all at the same time. Anyone else feel this way? When I went for my medical - my pressure shot up - coz I was so nervous
 
Mary they won't come so fast to check. Cause you'll only be processing the legal doc. But you will miss your baby loh... Why not move forward your trip if possible. If really no choice than leave with your parents...
 
Hi littlegirl, yes i have higlighted in my email to them but do you think they care! No response thus far from them after my email to them yesterday. Have to wait & wait!
 
Oh dear, sorry to hear about what you are going through, Esther. I can understand the apprehension you are facing. Is your agency able to help in any way? Maybe they know of someone inside who can check and maybe expedite a little?
 
Hi little girl, thanks for the info.

My relative already located a child few yrs old, not through agency, only need to pay lawyer fee (rare find).

Just wondering if still need to show that one has a lot of money in the bank or just have a job with regular income will do?
 
Sunshineday.. Depends on how much, if regular monthly income of 10k and above should be ok.. The financial status of siblings and parents are also consider..

Mary.. DP is needed for the child to stay in Singapore for adoption purpose while waiting for citizenship approval..
 
Hi Hi,

I'm new here. Me and husb waiting for our HSR to be ready in 2-3weeks by ACOSS. We are adopting locally.

Can someone approve my request to join the FB group please.
 
Is it as long as we have a favourable hsr, our bb can come sg and stay with us? then after she come then we apply dp, otherwise where got the consent document to submit?
 


Hi ladies! so nice to see that this forum is so active again! I adopted a girl 3 years ago and was active in this forum back in 2008/9 then when baby came, no time to post liao!

to those that have adopted, congratulations! Your family has come together in such a lovely and special way. It's a fantastic journey. Enjoy every small little thing cos the babies grow up too quickly!

to those who are considering or in the midst of the adoption journey: it's ok and very normal to be anxious and unsure. I pray that you will find peace and know the best thing to do for you and your family - all the best!
