How do you adopt a child from another state?

Yeah, I have to say that I wouldn't personally recommend adopting from other state. We did, & we would not do it again. I'd say that you should only do it if (1) you have plenty of expendable income for travel, (2) you have plenty of expendable income for doctor / therapy appointments during the months that Medicaid is not yet transferred, & (3) you have infinite patience to wait. Things often go askew from the original plan, & it is excrutiating to wait. (We waited 9 months from the time we 1st met our daughters to the time we got to see them again. We've now had them for 15 months & still haven't even been able to file with the courts for adoption.) I realize that some situations go more smoothly...& that theoretically there shouldn't be all of these barriers, but theory & reality are two different things. If you decide to go ahead & look out of state, make sure you are fully prepared. Good luck!
