area it must be hell for them too! I prefer to adopt here in
my area but since girls in the age range I'm looking for are sought after by people of all ethnicity I may have to broaden my search. I work full time and can't afford to go flying on
long distance pre-placement visits, nor can I compete equally
with all the white couples with stay at home moms that are adopting black children. So it's rough out here and only the strong survive hopefully more workers will be open to single
women adopting and not automatically place children with repeat adopters.
