You want to weep?
Go to the State-level adoption sites and see the thousands of children who need parents.
It’ll break your heart!
I was licensed to adopt initially (as opposed to fostering) and I called and emailed probably 50 case managers and not one got back to me. Not one.
They are pathetic.
I then tweaked my license and my husband and I got 2 fabulous kids that we have since adopted! Fostering is the way to go that eventually leads to adoption.
Did that once in Mobile, AL and you are correct... It will break your heart.
Go see how long it takes you to adopt one...if you can. And if you can keep the child.
That’s why people go overseas to get them.
