GREAT SOCIAL WORKER
We have the best social worker EVER (I know there are some out there who would argue that because their's are the best!). AND she has been doing this a good while and is/was the director of the Houston Adopt 2000 program so she has lots of contacts at CPS. She has a number of really good friends there that will call her when they need to place children. I have been told that our agency is typically given the younger children - that basically each agency has thier own area of "specialty." I don't know if that is true as I heard it from another adoptive parent - not the agency. But our social worker likes us alot so that helps tremendously, I know. Then, the really key factor is that Texas is really pushing for quicker termination/adoptions for children in the system to make them more "adoptable." Since we became homestudy approved in January, we have had six referrals. We know we are lucky and that some people wait longer. But there have been parents that have placed months ago that were in the same PRIDE classes we were in so it boils down to what you can accept and timing!
Good luck!
Lara
