HI!
We are also foster parents. We have been for 2 years now. What age child are you hoping to adopt? We live in a small town, so there aren't alot of children available for adoption. But, I have heard alot of success stories with fost/adopt. Especially if you live in a bigger town. We decided to go with an agency for now. And stay on the fost/adopt list, hoping to adopt through them in the future.
Do you think you could ask how many families are on the list? I did that when we first became foster parents, and our social worker showed me the list. She told me that one couple had just adopted twin babies a week before we were on the list. We ended up foster parenting a 3 year old boy, and a 5 year old girl. They ended up going home with their parents. But, we knew ahead of time that they would . Then, we decide to do only fost/adopt. It was hard getting attached to the kids, and then having them leave.
Good luck! I hope you get a call soon. It will happen! Keep me posted.
Take care!
Suzette
