I'm 48, and single (but financially stable) - why is it so difficult to adopt an American child, not an infant, but not an adolescent either? There are classes to take and tons of paperwork, not to mention a super long wait and ridiculous fees. Is it best to go to a lawyer that specializes in adoption? I know it is an excruciating process to go thru the department of children & families (state agency) - what about places like Catholic Charities? Are there others like that?
