If you are interested in children, go to your state's dhhs site. Here they have a ton, and I mean a ton of kids listed that are open for adoption. Also, you can become a foster parent, and you'd already be qualified really.

are you open to adopting a child with a disability? (no right or wrong answer. its not for everyone)
I know there are some organizations that want a loving home for some disabled orphans/foster kids that they will absorb most of the costs of the adoption and make it as easy as they can for you.

You get adoption credit for adopting anyway, up to 10k of all adoption fees if your work doesn't cover it. My step mom's work covered her fees so she wasn't able to claim them on her taxes, but had her work not had that program, she would have been reimbursed on her taxes. It's for all adoptions, not just disabled.

right I just meant as some adoption agencies can charge fees for their services. I have looked into a few (wishful thinking I have a college degree to knock out and we want to look into home ownership before we get into it. I think we are 5-6 years away at the least before we will be ready to adopt) agencies, specifically those with disabled children that won't charge you a dime and really just want to find loving families for their children. That is really cool though about the credit thing! I didn't evne know that!

Ah, ok. Yeah, a lot of people know about it, and think it's just an adoption credit, but it isn't really, it's just like reimbursement up to 10k. A lot of companies also have adoption programs that aren't well known. My step mom was working for BRU at the time and didn't actually have to pay anything out of pocket, they covered everything! It was really great, even the home study was covered. Any lawyer fee, court fee, ect.

i along with 6 of my brothers and sisters were adopted from the foster care system. my parents actually changed the law in NC in i believe 86, that you can adopt your foster children.
