Yes, it is true, you CAN adopt thru the state agencies but IT IS NOT EASY! We have FIANLLY completed our second adoption. If you work for CPS, you might NOT want to read further. While I am completely happy with the opportunity God has given us to adopt Staci and Faith, I do NOT like the system. It is ever so dang hard to do good work thru such a broken system.
If there are so many children to be adopted, why don't the workers move with something other than the speed of molasses on a cold winter morning? It is like death by slow multilation, trying to adopt thru this broken system. I am firmly convinced the only reason we have been able to complete these 2 adoptions is that God brought them to our home BEFORE there was a need for adoption. His timing is perfect!
Yes, I do sound a little bitter and that is only because I am. All I hear is that there are "SO MANY CHILDREN NEEDING HOMES, BLAH BLAH BLAH". That is what happens when you have 2 empty places in your home that is licensed for adoption and you cannot get children placed. We have inquired on many children available for adoption over the last couple of years but rarely even here a "thank you for your inquiry but we have chosen another family", much less a simple thank you. Maybe that goes back to the fact that no one rsvp's, reutrns phone calls, sends thank you notes, or has any social graces any longer.
