Smile adopt through foster care

we had our foster children for 2yrs and have finally received tpr on the parents. now that they are legally free we were told everything should be finalized by dec.
we started out as foster parents. our kids are now 11 and 12. your chances to adopt older chlidren are better in alabama but you still might have a wait. there never was a chance in them going back father in prison and mother zapped from drugs. we could not figure out why it took so long for tpr. now we are playing a waiting game with dhr worker to do paper work. i would suggest before signing the letter of clearence for adoption you get in writing what subsudies you require for your child
(like medicaid or even college funds as children over 9 are intitled to). good luck!
