Call regularly, talk specifically to an adoption worker, check out the internet adoption photolistings for MO. and other states. www.dss.state.mo.us/index.htm , www.faces.org , adoption.com , adopt.net and other adoption websites can be helpful in your search for the right family.
Kansas City and St. Louis areas should have several sibling groups available for adoption. You can also check with MO. Baptist Children's Home about children available, and they and many other agencies will be having an adoption festival this summer near K.C. with children waiting to be adopted. You can go and meet the kids and social workers there. I went last year, and it was a neat experience. Sad to see so many kids needing families though. Hope you find the right children soon. There are plenty out there in need of a forever family. Spacecase63@hotmail.com
