I live in Missouri and have been with the State Adoption program for 3 years. I have only been in one "staffing" and my sister is the adoptive mother of a wonderful boy, she was also in a "staffing" when she adopted him. From what I know, yes there are always more then one family and the "staffing" is to look at all the families and the child and find the family that is best suited for the child. You don't see or engage with the other families. I know you are stressed out, I was and I was at work during the staffing. Hope your SW knows you well and is selling your family to the people on the staffing committee. It's very stressful, I wish you the best.
