We were/are straight adopt. We submitted solely through TARE and did not bother going out of state because we rarely heard back. We submitted probably about 50-60 times. Tare is not updated as often as it should be and some of those kids have been on for a VERY long time. I know personally that we submitted 2 years ago on several groups that are STILL on TARE. Here's what we learned, although you don't think that there are many homestudies on say a particular group as maybe they are more moderate or of a different race etc. the caseworker gets hundreds and hundreds of homestudies submitted on every group you see posted.
We were in the running several times though, but for one reason or another we weren't chosen. Then we were selected. So it does happen, but you can't contact anyone, you just sit and wait and alot of times never hear back.
We are a success story and are in the process of placement currently.
