I want to adopt a child in Australia, but I want to help from people who know where to start in Victoria?

Question

Sorry I tried before and got it all wrong so deleted the question. I want to do this all above board, and when I read it all its sounded dread - thanks the person than told me so !!!

Tears and emotions after seeing Juno and the SBS last night. I am happily married for five years. I can't have children, never could. My husband could but hasn't. We are not wealthy but pretty much own our own home and are living our own dreams - following our passions rather than dollars and we just know we could provide a safe, secure and loving environment for a child or two to grow up in and hopefully follow their dreams too.

I don't want to look overseas, so many kids n Australia who need a home. I would love to hear from you which agencies are worthwhile contacting and where all these children are in foster care who need homes? Any contacts or help woudl be really appreciated. I know we should do the Social worker evaluation - who do we contact for that?
