[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's this organization: https://www.facebook.com/secondchanceadoptions/ They are constantly looking for adoptive parents for children in the age range you describe. They are almost all physically healthy.[/quote] Those folks are getting a serious side-eye from me. What on earth? A private adoption that may or may not involve a home study and is illegal in at least 4 states? [/quote] It may not even be a legal adoption. Sometimes its just done informally where the parents give the new parents a letter. Most adoptions require a homestudy but sometimes, in these, they don't. It still happens in those states but they just work around the laws. We know of one situation it was done in and very very shady.[/quote]
