Possible Match vs Chosen Family

I don't know about KS, specificially, but in most states what you have experienced is just whittling down the hundreds of inquiring families to several dozen truly interested families. Hundreds of people inquire about a child, based on the non specific information given in an online bio. The worker replies to most of them (weeding out totally unsuitable families for that child), giving a little bit more of the child's information. This information will likely weed out some of the families, as they will not be equipped to handle a child with those specific issues. Out of the families that still express interest in the child, the worker goes through homestudies to select the small handful that seem to be best matched to the child. Out of that small handful, a committee or other worker chooses a tiny number - usually 3-5. The workers of those 3-5 families are usually notified again and the child "goes to committee" - where the chosen family is selected. That family receives all the information there is about the child. So you can see there are usually quite a few steps to the process! So hang in there, you're through at least the first hurdle.
