Thanks! I'd had hoped that it might be an intriguing question...

The reason I'm asking is that I have a feeling that after our journey here, I might be changing my career some day.

I believe that I'm an above average intelligent person. I don't believe in alot of letters after my name, experience tends to give me alot of knowledge (I'm a computer analyst by trade), but when I sat down to start calling agencies, I felt so lost and afraid, even though I scoured the internet for information on what to ask and what to look for.

By accident, I ran across an agency that is an Adoption Advocate. They do not place children. They will do our home study and post-placement followups, and will help us through this journey. As the woman was explaining what they did, I actually told her that she was an answer to our prayers!

Thinking about it, I feel that more people, paparents and bparents, alike, need someone that knows the system and can help you through that journey...I have a feeling that I'll be one of those people someday...

I was wondering if I was alone in that thinking!
