[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No other kids, used Adoptions Together and did a domestic infant adoption. I wanted to adopt from Central America initially but when we looked into International no other country ( that does adoptions with the US) will adopt to a gay couple. This may have changed by now, I have no idea. We started the process in March 2011 and finished all our paperwork, home study, background check etc in Nov. it’s a lot built they walk you through it. Adopted DD the following July, so less than a year actual wait time. She was 31 days old. Healthy AA infant. Our total cost was around $23K. Some of this is income based. Our HHI at the time was around 130K.    One of the things I like about Adoptions Together is their after adoption support. Because we are a transracial adoptive family we joined their transracial support group. We meet once a month ( pre Covid) and the adults can chat about different racial related issues we might be having and the kids play and get to be around other kids with families like theirs.

OMG I used adoptions together and they offered me sick child after sick child and pushed and pushed for me to take them. What an awful place. [/quote]

Had you specified that you were open to adopting  a special needs child? Normally, that is assessed early in the process.[/quote]
