Lisa,
That is great to hear. Now...I am really hoping to see some posts from others who are caucasian and have successfully adopted biracial or AA babies and are open to sharing who they used as an agency. I think PA seems to still be too strict. I have heard Ohio is better. Come on everyone...give out some good info if you have adopted this way. I am not interested in any agency that charges an arm and a leg. I didn't pay the huge fees for my Indian children and I am not about to do it in the U.S. either. I plan to stay in close contact with Patty Anglin and her organization Acres of Hope. This is not an adoption agency...but rather an organization which specializes in finding homes for babies who are special needs...and yes...it is embarassing to say that in this day and age...AA is considered special needs strictly due to race. I find it unreal that that mentality still exists today. So sorry CaliforniaJenn for dominating your thread. I hope you are finding some of this venting of mine worth reading. This has all just brought back to mind what we went through years ago. Why is it so hard to adopt a waiting child...it should be the easiest thing to do. If in the future we run into the same small mindedness we did before...we will check out Haiti. There is a wonderful inexpensive agency there called God's Littlest Angels. They are ALWAYS looking for parents for their babies/toddlers. Just my two cents...I'll try to stay off this posting for some time...I don't want to offend anyone. God Bless everyone in all their adoption adventures. Karen
