Bucks County Pa

Hi - I am about 45 minutes south of you. Social workers will not speak to you without a homestudy and classes being completed.

You need to locate an agency you wish to work with (private or county). Attend their information/orientation nights. This will let you know what type of things they provide and if they will meet your needs (i.e. interstate adoption, type of children they usually receive/place, etc). Then complete the training, physicals, clearances, paperwork (autobiography, etc), and the homestudy. Those two girls' (or actually their picture) may have brought you into starting this process, but by the time you are done, they may not still be available. From start to finish, it could take you 2 to 6 months to be licensed. It's also a good chance to read and get a better understanding of what issues kids in fostercare may have vs what you may have had with your international adoption. Im in Dauphin county (harrisburg), so not near you enough to give any local inforamation.

Hi, Just east of you... You need an agency to work with first and that will eventually lead to information. Case workers are protective of the children. I found that just being in contact via private email with others in the area can often help. Many of us are looking at and have looked at the same kids or have seen them at matching events and already have information that can be shared.

Hi I am also in Quakertown. You need to get in touch with an agency. There are so many children who need a good forever family. I have adopted a 2 year old little boy this past April. He has been here since he was 2 weeks old. We are now fostering his 4 month old bio sister. She has been here since she was 4 days old. Good luck and maybe we could meet sometime for support.
