First Meeting

We met with our caseworker today. Her name is Daiva and she was so sweet and so nice and really made us feel at home. She answered all of our questions and explained everything. Its too bad we'll probably never see her again.

We've decided to do domestic foster care adoption, and Catholic Charities does not do that. They used to, Daiva told us, but insurance rates got to be too high and now they only do infant adoption and intercountry adoption. So basically, we have to start all over again with a US agency. Its really annoying, if I'm honest. Its already been three months since our initial informational meeting. And there is nothing salvageable from the process, but that is because we didn't get to far. So, at least we didn't get to far.

So we will start again, with AdoptUsKids, which is run by the US Dept of Health and Human Services. It is dedicated to finding forever homes for kids in foster care.

At least this time we can utilize resources offered from The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. Yes, it all leads back to Wendy's.
