We say "YES!".....it's the system that is holding back. We are licensed and ready to adopt from foster care again. With 7 children already in our home and because we homeschool, we have been told not to expect to be chosen as an adoptive family but to try for foster care again because they WILL place foster children with us and let us adopt them if they become available. ???????
We aren't looking for Bobby or Cindy Brady....we are open to children of any race, either sex, babies to teens..teen Moms who are parenting. We are open to many special needs as well.
And nothing. 6,000+ children in TX are legally free for adoption. We are a great, licensed family with two "openings".
The system is really overlooking a wonderful adoption resource in the larger family! Sorry - this video just tears at my heart. We are willing and able and ready....and get nowhere.
I have just stumbled on your blog and love reading about your sweet family!!! My girls are adopted from Ethiopia and have been home with us for the last 10 months!
YES! YES! YES!!!
