Yes through CPS I am supposed to have a cw who is connecting me (and 100 other families I'm sure) To children who are free for adoption and also I have to be aware of children on Texas Adoption Resource Exchange who I am interested in. It's a public website anyone can access to view legally freed children. If I see a child I am interested in I "submit interest" as an approved home... and the ball gets rolling from there. Have you registered with Adoption Family Network? It serves a similar purpose, and makes the HS available to sw's in tx.
I worked directly with the state rather than an agency.
