Hi LYn (lady1978),
appreciate ur effort, if everything goes well we will be leaving on the 22/11. If it is too rush we can always wait for the next gathering.
Ever since i had my gal i seems to have lesser frenz cos not many people understand what i am going thru, hence, i think it's time to widen my cirlces of like-minded frenz.

Hi ladies,

fatbabe, how about joining us for the gathering, then we can tell you all the details?
Fatbabe!
Ive been thinking about u. I saw green muffin at the wts thread so her bb must be few mths to a year old alrdy. How have u been? U disappeared fr the scene aft our failed IVF. Did u try anything else?
As for adoption, visit the SBL Vision website and download the adoption application forms and document checklist there. Then u will know what to prepare. U need to submit the application and documents to SBL. Then they will make two interview dates with you. One at their office, one at your home. Only after the approval when u get your hsr report fr mcys then u can approach a child adoption agency to source for baby. Adoption agent charge around 25k.

Fatbabe,
I submitted my application on 20th August. My 1st interview date is 24th November. Around five weeks later i should get approval. I may have my baby in January!
Some agents collect the $ in installments. Maybe 5k when u sign agreement with them, 15k when u bring the baby home 1-2 mths later, another 5k when u get ur bb birth cert 5-6 mths later.Jus an estimate.

Hi every one, my auntie's daughter have given birth to a baby gal in Malaysia. She called to ask me if i wanted to adopt but have told her that i will ask my friends around as i have already adopted early this year. anybody interested pls do email me thank you.
Hi everyone! Long time no post! Fantastic 2 read of so many new families! So happy for all the new mummies n daddies. N 2 the waiting families, all the best as u journey 2 the babies planned just 4 u!
Googlebaby, I thot u mentioned that u r still doing up yr HSR application? I think u mentioned it in the previous page of this thread, abt a mth back? Was surprised 2 read that u actually adopted early this year (puzzled).

ka_y_la, which part of Singapore do you stay. Have you thought about finding someone to baby sit for you.
yuli, you have an elephant brain. Googlebaby did mentioned that she was doing HSR.
Googlebaby, be careful. You are sounding very dubious. If you sound dubious, it's hard for the rest to connect with you.
But if you have adopted, do join the rest and meet up. I noticed that you are not joining the rest who are interested to meet up. Why?

@Googlebaby, yah I am puzzled too, it was just in Sep '10 posting you mentioned about u r still doing HSR and hubby not ready, than follow by post on not trusting any agency and follow by post you mentioned being sad and seems that adoption has been a rather unpleasant journey for you. Thus I am also surprise when you mentioned you adopted early this year ?? And even have a baby from a cousin looking for an adoptive family.
Infact I remember when u first join us in Sep 10' U started by posting a list of poems follow by a post telling another member off about her complain and feedback of a particular agency.
I have to be v direct here, I have doubt about your credibility in your posting now after this thread being abused just a month back by some people and agency, I just thought we need to be careful about trusting someone online too much when it come to recommending of a baby for adoption. Of course I am sure there is true and geniuine cases but I stand by my earlier comments and also the good suggestion by vickysmommy when we want to look for a local baby do go through the HSR accredited agencies for help and if anyone have an adoption plan for their babies, pls also go through them for proper councelling and guidance.
I won't apologise for my directness but if I am totally wrong than I am really sorry !

Hi Die, all the best to your interview on the 24th. Looking at your progress these couple of months, I'm most happy for you that you have reached a resolution and now, decided on adoption.
On dubious character, I don't mind having agent joining the forum to support the people here. However, there will be a conflict of interests and the agent must not use this thread to advertise their services. We don't want people to be doing any transaction here! The thread might be shut down if there are dubious activities !

Googlebaby: if you are indeed running a business, I understand. However, it would be rather foolish of you to be switching between a potential adoptive parent to an adoptive parent especially on this thread. The basic rule of thumb of ANY business, let alone one such as this, is to build trust, and not blow your credibity even before any discussions with you.
Pls respect what we are trying to establish here, a support group. So do come clean. May I suggest that you try pm-ing individuals should you genuinely have babies for matching and be more professional from now on. However, I will be emailing the administrator re this matter so we can all be above board on this.

On a lighter note, I'd like to add onto Mrs Chou comment tt DanaKae was indeed very enlightening. She shared tt if you hv daughters, moms are their role models, dads provide safety n security. And vice versa if you hv boys. No running away from that
She comes to S'pore twice annually n gives talks through Tafnet/touch.

Hi everyone, I've became mummy last Tuesday. Although it's been rather hectic but my little one has given me so much joy! She'll be one month next Thursday. Hope I'll be confident to take her out on my own and work out the new stroller by then... if all good, I will likely join you ladies at ION Starbucks

Hi Mrs Chou, reality is that we have to provide food on the table. Earn as much as you can and save as much as you can. So that when you want to take a break from work, you can consider. Glad to meet you too.
To the mommies meeting up, remember to exchange contacts so that you all can keep in touch privately. It's fun to have monthly playgroup among the little ones! Try to avoid posting too much info here and protect each other's identity. ENJOY!

oh my god, I have not been able to come in to the portal due to my tight schedule and you ladies are so paranoid... about what, just because i made a small blunder in the word adoption .
To quote my sentence again , i said I have done my adoption early this year , what I meant was, I have identified my baby .
I am having a hard time with my HSR, that was when i started coming here, and the other time maybe u ladies may start searching, there was one particular time when i said that i needed to talk to someone as i don trust anybody and Mrs Ha offered to talk to me.
My problem is that my HSR is taking sometime and i only started my HSR after identifying my chid. my husband was not interested at first , but now after seeing the baby he is keen to go thru anything....you may also trace my history to find out about my husband fear in the questions going to be asked.
Dear Mrs Chou and vickysmommy , Thank you for the concern. its nothing wrong in telling fellow friends about a baby being available. i don have the time to follow this thread everyday. so that is y i took so long to respond to your empty "FEAR".
when i received a call from my aunt , just wanted to share, if anyone was really eager.
why are u people so paranoid , just because one person made a mistake.
my goodness, i have been made aware of this threatened thread and am quite digusted to be associated and acused for a kind deed.
Dear friends , i understand that you had gatherings, really wanted to come but was quite affected by the delay of my adoption. .... but ...
Anyway if anybody is keen to adopt the baby u may contact my aunt directly at her malaysia no + 6 0178489641 . thank you and sorry....
