SL&RL,
No have not found anything yet, it's tuff, because its not really that there's not an agency or facilitator that we have been able to find that we can afford. Looking around we have found a couple places that we would love to go ith, one is a facilitator, and we really like them and feel that we would love to go through the adoption process with them. But we simply can't afford it. I have a couple slightly possible leads. One is rthough a freind that works in corrections, she had said that they where working on a possible adoption program for pregnant inmates, but it got put on hold till next yer and then it would probably be a year before we would know weather it was passed, not to mention that the process could start again if it was revised, or even be completly thrown out. The other lead is just a freind that knows of a couple girls that are pregnant and would like to do an independednt adoption, so all we would have are the atty fees and court costs. But who knows if that will work out. We are hoping for a single healthy infant, of any ethnic background, do not have a sex preferance, and would do a case by case basis on possible drug exposure, and minor fixable birth defects like a hurnia or something. My state has a program for only $350 that covers all costs from start to finish except for any travel expenses you might have. And up tp $1,500 is refundable as soon as adoption finalizes. But they only offer older kids, special needs kids, or toddlers in sibling groups. We don't know if we can go from 0 kids to two kids from one day to the mext, and we are young so a baby is ideal. I have heard that on occasion they have an infant in a sibling group. We are so desperate! We have been talking about it for about a week, and if there happened to be a young toddler, and a nearly newborn infant and neather of them where special needs, we would take them. For now we are going to wait a couple of weeks and see if the girls my freind knows are serious about an adoption plan, and if they even consider us. If it does not work out, I just don't know. Keep me informed of how you are doing.
