I Need Berries Opinion Please...

@ashthedreamer: Yay, another soon-to-be adoptive mommy. Excited, since you are the only one I have seen so far that has mentioned adoption. If I am not prying to much, are you planning to adopt locally or internationally. I am hoping to adopt locally.

There are a bunch on here, there are actually a lot of families represented on here who would like to do a combination of both adopted and biological children, but there are only a few who want to do only adoption, especially those who are choosing adoption when they could have had biological children of their own (which happens to be me. haha.). I'm not sure yet, I know for sure that I'd like to do infant adoption in the US for my first child, I just want to be able to experience as much of my first child's life as possible, but after that I think I'd be more open to other methods, as well. I would really like to adopt from somewhere in Eastern Europe/Russia if at all possible, as well. I'm still at least three years off, so I do have a bit of time, and I'm more concerned about getting a "real" job, as I've just graduated college. I kind of need to do that before I can worry about bringing a child into my life in such a wonderful way.

Good luck with your adoption! Are you already into the process, then?

@Rollo. Thank you.

I pushed Chloe back because it was getting to popular and I choose that name before I became and Obsessed Berry, lol. I like the Chandler Felix combo as well. I wanted to honor my elder sister and the first 5 letters of Chandler are part of her name and for Courtland the first 5 letters are part of my name. Honestly, ever time I see someone mention Chandler they refer to "Friends" and it kind of annoy me, so I have put that to the side. The more I am on NameBerry the more names I have found that I like, which are not so popular or a bit generic for my taste.

Are you already into the process, then?

No, not yet, I am hoping to start before the year is over with. So far, the information meetings have not been convenient, time wise. I just need to get to one and hopefully, the ball will start rolling.

I will hopefully have my own bioligiacal children, however, I am focused on adoption.
