Acrosaz~ I used an adoption agency called adoption by gentle care. I adopted a full african american baby boy. The agency gave me an application to apply for a grant the grant was for $8,000.00 if you are willing to accept a full african american baby, $3,000.00 for a bi-racial baby, and NOTHING for a caucasion baby. We were told we would not be presented to white families because I am hispanic and DH is african (from Liberia) . All together with placement fees, agency fees, and all of the other fees we paid about $12,000.00. My social worker was very friendly and more than willing to help with anything I needed. We started the process in September 06 and was matched twice (both fellthrough) before we finally got our PERFECT match in March 07. So it took us from start to finish 7 months it could be sooner depending on what there needs are. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask
