questions

I posted this in children with disabilities but I think this is the area I'm most interested in although I'm open to learning anything I can. Hi Everyone, I am a new Foster Mom through the States foster program. I have made it known to them that I would be interested in a Special Needs Child. I'm wondering what other steps I can take, who to contact, classes, basically where to start so that I can make it known to the right people that I am interested in this. I would definitely be open/prefer adoption but would be ok with fostering as well. I had a baby that was diagnosed with Spina Bifida through ultrasound and 20 weeks gestation but we later learned she also had Trisomy 18 which a chromosonal disorder. Sadly we lost her when she was 9 days old. I had researched SB as well as all the complications she could have from the Trisomy 18 and was really feeling like I could do it and give my child a happy life for as long as we could have her. I didn't get to do that for very long, although are time with her was amazing in so many ways. I feel like I still want to give to a child with Special Needs but I'm not sure where to start. Along with my Husband I have a bio son 11 and bio daughter 8 and who are on board with the idea. We currently have a placement of two little girls that are 19mo. and 6mo. with a goal of RU. That looks like it will happen, we just don't know when. In the mean time I want to start looking into, what I would need to do in order to be set up for Special Needs children. Any ideas, direction would be helpful. Thanks, Keke
