I agree, get your foster certification first. check with your local non profit adoption support groups. they often feature special needs children who need to be adopted (and are already freed for adoption).
I don't understand why the state makes it so freaking difficult to adopt. there was a little blip on the news about how our state id 153 adoptions last year, and there are still 150 kids ready to be adopted. Have we gotten one call??? nope.... even though our file says we are open to adoption, any age, race, or need.
