We started PRIDE classes last night through the state agency. The very first thing the instructor said was, "This class is for people wanting to foster, not parents wanting to adopt." She went on to explain that if we were looking to adopt that we might need to go to a private adoption agency.
We are wanting to adopt a school aged boy from foster care. I tried to explain this to her, but either I don't understand or she doesn't. I thought we could go through them and adopt once a match was made. What gives?
