rraiford - I did not know about the open house, so we will not be attending.
I don't know if you have checked into your local children and youth agency. I was told a couple times when researching foster care/adoption that the county agencies get the children first. They are the ones that remove children from the home, and they are first responsible for trying to find them a new one. Usually with younger kids, they find a home in the county pool of foster parents. I was actually told by a private agency that the county sends kids to them if they are not able to be placed within their own pool of resource parents. Translated, most of the babies and toddlers would have been placed with children and youth families, and not even make it to a private agency. I hope this makes sense. Believe it or not, that was the main reason we went the county route, vs. private agency.
I have also been aware of the changes in fingerprinting, FBI, etc. I should have been approved in mid-November, but just got approved April 30, because these changes held us up.
Hope this helps and best wishes
