I adopted from foster care as well as through a private agency. We adopted through the foster to adopt program and it was a pretty good program.
Success in adopting from the foster care system varies because each state and then each town or county seems to have their own quirks. You have to take into account the agenda of the agency, the reason why the kids go into care and whether you get a good caseworker or not. In other words you might be successful or you might not. Agencies in my state have decided to shift their focus and funding to kinship placements so it is getting tougher to adopt from foster care now.

I'm going to assume she posted here because she wanted the AA perspective on adopting from foster care. When you are AA there tends to be a slightly different angle to it especially if the agency that you use has primarily AA kids or kids of another race.
