Hello,

We've previously been approved to adopt in the US through CPS, but this route has not been very friendly toward military families, so we're at a point where we are considering other options. If all goes well, we plan to close our file with CPS and pursue a Korean adoption (which was the original route we wanted to go, but a CPS recruiter talked us into going with them).

We're in Texas, and looking at Holt and Dillon right now. If anyone has any information or experience please pm me, I'd love to know all about it!

We meet all the requirements to adopt that we're reading on their websites, but there was some vague information on the medical end that I wanted to ask about. Mainly, I noticed that there were questions about counseling on the applications. My husband did go through military counseling last year when his close friend and grandmother died back-to-back to help him process through the grief, but it was only for roughly a 2 month period of time. He hasn't been on any medications, except for a short period of using an antihistamine, but no anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, or anything of that nature.

But, reading that made me a little unsure if I should bother to list those things since we don't consider them to be an issue and both things were so short term. Yet, I don't want to leave it off thinking it's nothing, and then it turns out to be a big deal in a background check. Any advice for this situation? CPS never asked us about anything like that, so it caught me a little off guard.

I'm also a little concerned of what might happen if we get relocated. Obviously it wouldn't be something planned or within or control, but we can't guarantee to be in this same location for a 1-3 year period. Would that throw out our progress and file, or would we just update our homestudy in a new state?

I plan on asking the adoption agencies these questions eventually, but I just wanted to get a feel of what the realistic answers are before I got the agency answers.
