CJ:
Are you adopting privately with an agency, or through the state foster system?

If you are adopting privately, I'd ask 'why you haven't been presented to at least one situation....and is there something you could do to change your profile, etc'.

If through the state foster system.......this is commonplace. I think you have to network more with this type of adoption, than you do if going the private route.

Network on your own. Call other agencies to see if you can contract with them as well..........that is....agencies that will not charge you 'an arm and leg'...as one of the other threads here talks about.

If through the state, network too. Check the national listings, your state listings.....call other state DCF offices and 'present' yourself. I'd have to say that state workers are so very overburdened with everything, they simply can't devote a whole lot of time to networking.

Good luck.....

Sincerely,

Linny
