my partner and I are hoping to adopt a waiting child from the foster care system. We are working with an agency who has been very supportive & we're only going to work with states that have a reputation for being open to gay families. We're female, if that makes any difference. We're open to older children (actually prefer kids over age 4) and any race, boy or girl, etc. What we're afraid of is that children's caseworkers will not pick us for their children because we're a same sex couple. Has anyone had experience with this? Are caseworkers receptive? Or should we brace ourselves for a long wait?
