What age group are you looking for your child/ren in? We were foster to adopt for two years, then went straight adoption for a year.
We sent out over 100 homestudies on kids listed. Of those, we heard back from maybe 40 sw's. They sent us more info on the kids and many had issues beyond what we could handle. Our ages were girls up to 10, brothers up to age 12. Our sons were late teens at the time.
We went to committee on three of the kids. We weren't chosen for any of them
Finally after a year we went back to foster to adopt and had children placed with us immediately. We had 11 kids in all placed until we found our forever kids.
