My BL/SL adopted 2 (brother/sister/USA) and boy, did they have to go through the hoops, and I mean "THE HOOPS" !! Have no idea what kind of $$$ was involved in the end, but, the main thing is everything is going very well and ALL are very happy.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

If you are set on adoption, can't you be a Foster parent first, then adopt?

^^ I do believe that's what my BL/SL did, I'm not sure if it was required? or it was by choice?

yes, you certainly can but there are so many other caveats with this process too. Here in SD foster kids are usually pretty messed up and dangerous. A friend road trooper is a foster parent and he has some really scary stories.

I ask because I really know next to nothing about either adoption or fostering. I have two adopted cousins, and my former son-in-law was a foster/adoptee from a family who supported themselves entirely on foster payments.

My wife and I were blessed with our own kids, so we never had reason to look into it.
