I wasn't born in the United States, but I live here now. I identify as a transgender male to female. I transitioned when I was 17. I hope to adopt children. I am 20 years old. My favorite color is blue. It doesn't snow where I live.
I live in the Northern United States. I have two girls and one boy. I am 27 years old. My favorite color is purple. I would like to move to Hawaii. We have lots of snow storms where I live.
I have received and began to fill out the paperwork that is necessary for me to adopt a child.  The director at the agency said that it could take anywhere from 1 to 5 years to complete the entire process. I am so proud of you.  That is a long time to wait but I promise you the wait is worth it.  Did the aggency give you other details on what kind of child you will be getting? Maybe where they will be from or gender? No, it is a long process because they need to look into me, have interviews, talk to people i know, find a child after all this vetting. So, they will only let me know possible options after years. All i hope for is a child. I can handle anything that comes my way, and i will cherish them so much. It is a dream come true. Very good point.  If you need any references, please feel free to put down my name.  I see how well you care for my children when you are all together.  I hope to see you soon - I'll do just about anything to get away from all this snow! I really appreciate that! I will really need all the references and help that i can get. This is my biggest life goal, and i am so happy that i have this kind of an option! I hope so too! Do you think you would want to come over here as a solo trip to get away from life a little, or you think you would wanna come with the kids? I think I will bring the kids.  Since you are so close to Hawaii I would like to see if we can fly down there as well.  I'd like to show the kids around and see if they like it (how could they not!?).  I want to be sure we find them schools they enjoy and a community we will really be able to feel a part of. That is actually a really great idea. I will definitely come with you on that mini trip so i can help you out with the kids. How serious do you think you are about Actually moving there, instead of just visiting? I love it! I'm very serious...If I have to shovel snow one more time I may burst!!  Hawaii is just so beautiful and yes, very expensive, but I think we could make it work.  I've been planning on it for years and I think now is the time to just go for it. Haha, i think i may need to move somewhere with snow. I have never experienced living in it, and i think that would be an amazing experience for a while at least. I am really proud of you for planning this move. It is a big deal, but it is really a whole life changer in the most amazing way to get that new experience. Thank you - well I learned from you that if you don't like something, change it! You have been quite the inspiration to me as well when you decided to transition 3 years ago.  Are you all done with your surgeries now? I really appreciate that. It takes a lot of guts and courage, to change anything in your life. If you want it enough, you will do anything to get there. I know you can do it. I am finally whole in all my surgeries. I definitely still plan to do some more facial sculpting and some other smaller operations, but the main ones are all done. Especially because i was so young, they make you go to therapy for 2 years to make sure I am true in my desire to transition, so the last surgery was not too long ago. I am still in pain from it actually. I'm so proud of you! And take it easy so you can recover quicker.  Who knows, you could have a kiddo running around the house before you know it.  And at the very least, chasing 3 kids around Hawaii will keep you very busy.
