[quote=Anonymous]I adopted from foster care (2 year old girl) also as a single mom. When i got married my DH and I then adopted a sibling group (2 boys, 1 and 3 years old. ). I had the same social worker each time. And yes, it was free. We took all the courses, and all the follow-ups. We took parenting courses/ As a PP said, you spend time, not money, with the foster care system. The adoption the first time was complete after about 9 months of fostering, and the second time after about 6 months of fostering. If I had remained single I would not have adopted a second time as I got promoted at work and my time with my daughter was already limited. But with my DH we could enlarge our family and I could work fewer hours. DH had a bio son from a previous marriage so our family was really big after all my dreams of a family of just me and a daughter! [/quote]
