Adoptuskids

I am always curious to see if there actually have been actual adoptions from this website or if these kids just sit there forever? I know that there is a matching process and that not everyone that inquires about a child or a group of children is matched with them or even considered for them but either way it still makes me wonder why these kids seem to be on this list forever.

Now, I am not exactly sure we are at the point in our Homestudy where we can or can't actually begin to be considered or matched with any of the children on there, but I did register for the site and submit an inquiry just the same.

I know we have to send the adoption certification paperwork to our licensing worker and she said she will write up the answers to our questions and add them to our file for when our license is back from the state for foster care so it will also include our adoption choices. BUT ... what I really want to know is...

If the state only allows you to foster 2 children the first year, and in order to adopt the children for our state they have to be in your home for 6 months, does that mean that if I wanted to do a direct adoption of a sibling set of 5 from an out of state placement, that I could not do it or be considered because of this rule?

That sucks! These kids are currently spread out over 3 foster homes, the oldest is getting too old soon to be adopted, I mean let's face it a group of 5 is pretty hard to place, let alone one with a teenager in it. Most families only want the younger ones.

Me... I want the family! This is why we are getting the large house. Now of course I still want to foster medically complex, but I would put that on hold if we were actually placed with this group. Now I am positive that this actually won't turn into a possibility, because of this rule, but it'd be nice to consider just the same.

Of course with that being said, I do believe that everything happens for a reason and that everything comes as planned, whether it be that you believe in a divine plan or in fate there is something out there that ultimately dictates your proper path in life.
