 Adopting In Florida
My husband and I are waiting to adopt in FL from the Children's Home Society. We have tried so hard to be optimistic , but every time we turn around, we hit a wall. Our homestudy was complete in Oct, and we have been on a "waiting list" that really doesn't exist. We are open to adoptng an infant to age 4, Hispanic, caucasian or biracial. We have never received a call. Every bit of contact that has been made w/ CHS has been by us.
Now, were hearing from people locally, that you have to know someone. Two people in the last 2 weeks have told us that they knew someone and got an infant. It's very sad and discouraging.
I saw two little girls last week on the state web site, called my case worker and she called back on Monday. She has no info on these girls. Finally, I get some info that the girls' caseworker is out becuase of a death in her family. No one can access the info on these girls. But, there have been dozens of calls on them. It took everything that I had not to sit at my desk and cry. My biggest questions is: If we are approved for an infant to 4 years old and up to 2 sibling, why did we not get the call? Why are they posted in a website? My case worker says that she doesn't know.
It's very sad and very discouraging. Has anyone adopted through CHS Florida? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks for letting me vent!
