[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we used adoptions together. They have offices in VA and MD. WE are in MD and happy with the process. We are a white gay couple and adopted our healthy AA daughter when she was 30 days old, she is now almost 8.

having said that, I am not sure where you are getting your info from. If you adopt from foster care in DC, MD and VA it is free, they actually give you a stipend to encourage adoption. It is lengthy and not easy but I am not sure where you are getting the info that you pay.[/quote]

Where I am getting my info from.  Please tell me if I am wrong.

Adoptions together at LEAST $11,100

There is absolutely no reason to go through a private agency nor is it a great idea.  In MD, agencies place directly with their foster and adopt families. The only time other agencies are used is when they cannot place within their own families.  It should be free.  Thats a money grab. The county will do the home study, training and provide social worker/agency support and do the adoption for you for free.[/quote]
