Wow. You seem really new to these boards. I have been posting for quite a while about trying to adopt older children. We have been on 9 "short lists" for these children. Some of the staffing decisions on these children took months when they could have taken days. Your tone has been very sharp in this post and others. Please consider that you may not have all of the story when you respond to some of the posts. This is a very flawed system. Children are being damaged by waiting for families that are already sitting there. Yes, that includes the older children. I had three couples in my training alone trying to adopt teenagers. It took them about year. These were well qualified people. Yes, you hear the great story every once in a while about people who finish training and are matched the next week. That rarely happens. Pleasebe considerate of others.
