		<description>how will you sleep at night?  IT&#039;S WRONG!  what the hell are you thinking trying to seperate babies from their mother?  That is just disgusting when you think about what you&#039;re trying to get away with.it is a criminal act to kidnap children.  if you do get away with it you won&#039;t be hard to figure out and you will pay for it.  Let me ask you a question, do you really think these people won&#039;t find you and hate you for what you&#039;ve done?</description>

		<description>do you know why there are SO many children in foster care? &quot;Important&quot;  people are making money when parental rights are terminated and children are adopted.  It&#039;s not because so many children are abused and neglected it is because there is an actual business of kidnapping and selling children right here in the united states.  do the research!</description>

One more question (please?). When does the child find out that someone is inquiring about them?

		<description>Hi Renee

Nice to meet you. I was so glad to read that you have had experience in Foster to Adopt. My husband and I have raised six children, we are middle aged and healthy and we just started our Foster Classes. Eight months ago I found a little 13 year old girl with big blue eyes on the internet that has been in the foster care system. Since then I have thought about adopting her. So...here we are going to classes for Foster Care (just finished the second class), filled out bunches of paperwork, criminal background checks, next week; fingerprints and the upcoming homestudy. But anyway, I am living in Kentucky now and I was wondering what is the first step that happens after your homestudy gets done? Will they arrange for us to visit her, or her visit us (with our workers approval of course), or ???? I am so excited not just about adopting her, but about fostering. When I started looking in to it, I just couldn&#039;t believe how many foster children there were in Kentucky alone. Any advise, steps, etc., would be very helpful from anyone. Thanks! Can&#039;t wait to hear of your final court date for your new son. :)

		<description>I just joined here as well hoping to find some folks who can help me to adopt a foster girl who`s 8. In my area adoption is as foreign as good paying jobs lol there are a lot of communities here but all artsy types, no adoption get togethers or anything. What should I do to start? She is in another state, but in about a year we do plan on moving to that state and running a horse farm. What should my first step be? I found her on adoptudkids.org&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>Our families journey started 3 plus years ago.  The Judge finally had enough and we are SCPT and have been told this is going to take a long time to terminate birthmom&#039;s rights. birthdad stepped out 1-1/2 years ago.  We signed a commitment form a few days ago to adopt these two adorable sibling. They are a handful but we love them. Our children are young but we feel they don&#039;t remember her as their birthmom even if they have been visiting birthmom weekly (supervised).  Since we are heading toward adoption does anyone have ways or idea&#039;s I can ask information from birth mom before rights are terminated.  What information did your wish you had now about birth family before the rights were terminated?</description>

		<description>Hello Renee, I am new to the group also. We are planning to adopting two boys same ages as your two, nine and eleven. They came into care the end of June and we have fostered them since August. I have lots of questions and some worries but will wait a while so people can get to know me better before I get to that part. &lt;br /&gt;
