Hi I am 21 years old, my dream in life is to be a mother. I am currently working on owning my home and land. Home is a 3 bedroom/2bath. So there is plenty of room. I am married to a man who is older but yet still physically able, he trains horses and rides tractors for a living. I am working 2 jobs, one part time as a CSR at home (just for extra money), the other as a waitress. We spend our free time riding horses, watching movies and football, doing arts and crafts and just having fun. We are very family orientated, we have a lot of family reunions and get togethers, we are never apart except when at work. We are not rich but financially able to begin to add a child. I am going to start online classes in a few years to study child Psychology as well. We have a lot of free time to spend with a child, I watched my nephews all the time until I moved out of state due to work. We are both Christians and attend church on Sunday's at 4pm. I know some states are picky on who can adopt and who can't, I just would like to know if I would even have a chance yet based upon my life. Thank you :)

You should be able to adopt. There are many different options, and a lot depends on children in the US vs those out of the US. Either way you might want to talk to an agency first. You could also talk to your local social services about foster care, which can lead to adoption. If race doesn't matter to you, all the better.
