OK, I am usually the all positive go for it- girl, but has anyone else gotten the "cold shoulder" from stateside social workers when the only thing that they know about you is that you are a military family overseas?
Has anyone worked with a state that may be a little more open to finding a great little family that wants to share our love?
My husband even asked "Do you wish we hadn't tied your tubes?" last night. NO< I know that we are supposed to adopt. I have felt it all of my life! Somewhere out there are our kids and their social worker, who are all just waiting to meet us! I wish they were easier to find. Any advice or encouragement would be helpful!

I just replied to another post from Fl hopeful adoptive parents. We are stateside, have already adopted 2 from the state and hope to adopt again. We have a homestudy and are ready to go, but are getting nowhere. We can not get phonecalls retuened.....emails are ignored.....we are frustrated. We have contact other states, but they will not work directly with us....they need to go through our CW. If she won't respond to us I doubt if she will respond to out of state CW. We are almost ready to go international.

I know how you feel, we were hoping to adopt from Florida since that is where we are from. I just hope that we will be able to find a case worker in the states that will be willing to work with us at all. We did contact a worker on the West Coast who accepted our home study and is looking it over! So I still have my hope to hold onto. Hold onto yours too!
Saj,
That is where our situation gets a little bit too weird for some social workers, which I kind of understand.
We are in Stuttgart, Germany. It is super cold here right now! We have finished our home study through a social worker licensed in the State of Florida. We are trying to adopt a waiting child or better yet, a sibling group. We have two bio kids and want at least two more.
Until next time! Michelle
