[quote=Anonymous]I think adopting from foster care is much less of a 'crap shoot' then international adoption. With a foster care adoption you get much more information then what you get internationally-- and you have more ways to verify it. OP- we have not adopted an older child from foster care- but we are foster parents. Have you considered fostering? One of the reasons so few younger children are available for adoption is that they tend to be adopted by their foster parents--- I don't have time right now to look up the statistics but it is something like 50% of children adopted from care are adopted by their foster parents. maybe higher...[/quote]
