We have an orientation meeting with the Foster Agency this week and I was surfing the web, looking for some information online that might spark any questions we would have. We are going into this mostly blind; we don't personally know anyone who has adopted through foster care.
I also was looking for some information on private adoption (wherein you find the birth mother and arrange the adoption details with an adoption attorney). I typed in "adoption attorney" and my city and the search results were super limited. I was kind of surprised. I live in one of the largest metro areas in the country and there's no one here who has put together a website about private adoption? It is frustrating to say the least.
I don't know why adoption seems so secret and covert. Why are there so many hurdles to just finding out information???
In a bit of desperation, I reserved several books about adoption at the library. Though some of them are a little older, they will at least give us a sense of the process and the costs (as well as the risks!) involved.
