Adoption. If my husband and I get put on the adoption list of a private state run agency,?

Question

would that be like gambling with our money to see if we get a baby or not? I know the wait can be a while but will it eventually happen? Or will we spend thousands of dollars and never get a baby.

Answer 1

Does it have to be a young baby? I worked for an adoption agency, we were the state's agency. It cost just legal fees. We had children for adoption sometimes babies, the whole process took about a year. However, if you are very specific about your wants I realise it could take longer. Have you tried to get on the state list of other states apart from your own.

Answer 2

why don't you roam the streets and pick up a stray baby

Answer 3

Foster to adopt is about your only good choice with the state, if you want a baby to 5 years old.

Private adoption would take about one year (after you mortgage your home!)  : )

Answer 4

I am not sure which state you live in......I do know that babies are always the ones that adoptive parents want the most have you considered taking in a child that was say 5, 6, or 7 they need a good home and lots of love as well.....

Answer 5

Your words - quoted:

"I would be willing to get it up to a year old."

You don't deserve a child if you even consider calling it an "it".

Go and get a dog.

I'm sure you would be happier.
