We have an approved homestudy and are licensed to adopt in our county. We are waiting quite impatiently. We would like to adopt special needs, ages 2-9, and are waiting. I am getting very irate and might go out of state. We are in AZ and are *trying* to adopt through the state.

If you go the state route, you should become a licensed foster parent as well; as little ones are placed in foster-adopt homes whenever possible- that is your BEST chance for getting a little one.

I'm so sorry if this post sounds bitter, but I am. We've been fostering since May; and there are SO many special needs kids that need homes but are lingering in the system due to inept judges and social workers. If I had the money, I would do a private adoption, out of the country to avoid all of this heartache and hassle.
