They said that foster parents get first chocie and the reason that there are no children under a certain age available, is because these children go to foster homes for adoption first..

Also, how hard is it to straight adopt an older child or sibling group if you are not going through DHS to do so? Is it costly or does it make a difference if the child is older? Can you even adopt an older child without going through DHS.. Our home is approved for three..I want at least two , would like boys and one little girl would be a blessing too... Is there a place to adopt siblings older other than DHS??
