You CAN Adopt: Gay Adoption Info - AdoptionPride.com

Stop thinking you can never be a parent. Gay adoption IS an option. I remember one of the most difficult aspects of coming to terms with being gay was thinking I would never have the "normal" family traditions like opening gifts on Christmas morning or hiding and hunting Easter eggs. About six years ago, I decided enough was enough. I was going to be a parent. This site was developed to share the information I've learned over the years with those of you who may be interested in pursuing the adoption of a child.

The most important thing to know is that there ARE options. You too can be a parent.

I have adopted my three kids over the last six years through the fost adopt program in Boulder county, Colorado. When I began my process, there wasn't a lot of information out there, so I've decided to share what I've learned. Please use me and this site as a resource in your process of becoming a parent.

Let's work together to make this site the primary resource for information on gay adoption.

IMPORTANT REQUEST:

I've been contacted by the casting director of a new docu-series about adoption. She is very interested in finding gay couples or individuals who are beginning their process of becoming parents. Please read the request below and respond directly to the email provided. Let her know adoptionpride.com sent you. Or you can contact me if you have any questions.

HIGH NOON ENTERTAINMENT ("CAKE BOSS," "TOUGH LOVE") IS PRODUCING A NEW DOCUSERIES FOCUSING ON ADOPTION!

High Noon Entertainment is teaming up with a major cable network to produce a documentary series about the real life joy, laughter and heartache American families and mothers experience from every side of the adoption process.

If you're in the middle of your own real-life adoption story, we want to hear from you! We're looking for dynamic people from all walks of life who have a current, compelling story focused on the adoption process.

Whether you're 1. the married couple who've tried for years to have a child and are now looking into alternate options 2. the professional single woman who's decided that she's waited long enough to be a mother 3. the woman who has decided to become a surrogate for a family member or friend or 4. the pregnant woman considering an open adoption, we want to hear YOUR story!

We are ESPECIALLY interested in finding a gay couple or single dad on a quest to find an open adoption or a surrogate - or in the process of working with a birth-mother or surrogate.

If you have a story you'd like to share or know someone who does, please send a one- or two- paragraph summary and a digital photo of the person or people whose story is being told to: adoptioncasting@highnoontv.com
