I am looking for an adoption agency in Fl or nationwide that will handle and place special needs adoption from the foster care system at a low cost. I do not want to go through DCF, the area in Fl that we live in is blacklogged and I do not want to wait forever, I realize this takes time and patience, but I would like it handled better then dcf seems to be doing in our area. I also do not want to be limited to searching just Fl. I am looking for a sibling group. Please help me with any info you can give. Thanks

I'm not a Florida resident, but I think there are a few things I can offer. 1. I believe *your* state must license you. In order to adopt through another state, your state then sends your licensing info on and an ICPC is done. 2. ICPCs are known for taking many months. Easily between 3 and 6 extra months, after being identified for the kiddos. If the backlog is less than that, you might come out ahead where you are. 3. As to low-cost, all foster care adoptions are low cost. The only things I've ever heard of anyone paying out of pocket is for court and attorney fees which should be less than $1500. Most states reimburse that amount. 4. Does your area have private agencies at all? I never can remember which states do and which don't.
