Shouldn't be a problem

I work with CPS in Washington State. I saw your post and just wanted to let you know that I've seen two lesbian couples adopt from the state in the past year. It happens all the time--and the state laws of non-discrimination are on your side.

Even if there are case workers who are personally opposed to same-sex families, they cannot afford to be that picky...especially since you are wanting to take an older child. There will always be a few who won't approve of your family, but that will probably be true throughout your entire life...learning how to cope with closed minded people can benefit you, though--you'll teach your children how to live open mindedly in a closed minded world...
