At our group meeting with the adoption consultant Monday, some people spoke about their orientation at DFACS and said it was pretty horrible. We had an appointment last night... and thankfully, the meeting wasn't as bad as we thought.
It doesn't really sound like that little 2 year old girl that's in foster care will really be a viable option -- after learning about how to go through the process / how to go through foster adoption. The mail thing (if she's available for adoption) is that she's in another county.... and our county DFACS office places children in our county only. They say that they rarely cross counties. So....... we're considering the adoption (but not the foster program). I know me. I can't have a kid in the house then send them back to a home where their original parents were abusive or negligent. There's 21 hours worth of classes that we might be eligible for in January -- but our profile will be pretty narrow on the type and age of child we are looking to adopt, so they may choose to train more flexible foster / adoptive parents. We'll see.
I'm crashing early. We're getting up early to pack & go to an out-of-town wedding.
g'night.
