As far as you'll always find a way to adopt that is not always true we were stuppid when we were younger and made our credit bad so we can't get a loan. Yes we do own a home but can't get a loan agianst it we tryed it does not mean we are poor but we just don't have a lump sum to adopt. We want to adopt a downs syndrome infant and by all means if you know of a way for us to get payment arrangments then let us know PLEASE. And I am very SORRY if I hurt anyones feelings we just want help and have not gotten it. Kaye tank@lakewebs.net

There are more children than you can imagine who are currently housed by your state in foster care. These children need parents to love them and provide a good home. The great news is that in most cases the state will pay almost all the cost for you to adopt these children.

My wife and I now have two wonderful children and all we had been asked to pay is $36. You do't have to be rich or well off to be able to adopt. Please contact your state or your county DFACS office to get more information.

We went through a non-profit organization that works with the state to provide the necessary training and support. Your state will most likely provide a monthly subsidy to help you with the additional cost your family will have.

Good Luck in your search!
