Anyone Foster-Adopt in the US?
Has anyone done foster-adopt in the US? We'd be looking for an infant girl.
I am finding very mixed information on the internet (all personal stories so taking it with a grain of salt)
Some say adopting an infant was hard, some say it was easy, and much harder to adopt a toddler.
Some say all foster kids have issues (psychosocial, developmental, abuse, drugs etc) other say that social workers just tag those labels on the kids to get more government funding and most kids in foster don't have significant issues.
Before I had kids, before I even got married, I thought adoption was the most amazing thing and I still think about it a lot...
Private adoption is way out of our price range.
Any personal stories appreciated!
