Hello, great idea for a thread!!!
We have two adopted girls, 8 and 5, both were domestic infant adoptions. We are waiting, not so patiently for a placement through foster/adopt. We have been waiting for just about 1 month. This will be our last adoption. With that said I would love a sib group of 2. We have stated we are open to 0-4 single child or sib group. We also have said we are willing to look at females b/t 10 and 12.
Had a lead on a 3 year old boy. Called and spoke with his foster cw. I was hooked!! Talked to our worker and she told me the truth. He had alcohol exposure in utero and is in speech, physical, and occupational therapy. We prob. still would have moved forward with the presentation, but there were red flags just waiving in my mind! Why would the foster worker lie when I point blank asked her if there was drug or alcohol exposure and tell me he is not recieving any services. So we emailed letting them know we were not interested.
This wait has been much harder on me than the other 2. I felt with the infant placement there was an end in sight. With the foster adoption I don't feel that way. We have set a time limit of 2 years; if we have not been placed and finalized in the 2 years we are going to pursue another infant adoption.
