Hi again (I'm still in shock that people wrote back!!!)
I don't know quite how it works with the kids over two, but i saw some statistics the other day about adoption in Australia, and in the whole of Western Australia, there had been 3 domestic adoptions last year and 44 international. I know that there aren't tonnes of people in WA but still, that is an awful lot of kids in fostercare/parents without children/children without families no matter how you look at it.
There weren't stats about how many kids in fostercare in WA but if only 3 a year manage to find permanant homes then that is too sad. I live in a town with 8000 people (in country NSW) and i know of about 4 people IN MY TOWN who have had children taken at birth and about 10 others that have had children taken into fostercare permanantly. I just can't see why our goverment doesn't think those kids deserve a chance of a real family.
