The children on the photolisting need a family now. Hopefully, by the time you move to Florida and because licensed to adopt, those kids will be in their forever home. Kids on adoption listings can't wait the 6 months or more that it will take to license you.
There will be other kids, though. It might be hard to convince a cw to give you a child who is only 11 years younger than you. That would be more of a sibling age difference than mother/daughter age difference. Kids who were abused and neglected often need experienced parents. (People who have cared for hurt children with significant behavioral problems).
You could probably have young children placed with you. It would give you a chance to get your feet wet. Raising children isn't anything like babysitting. It's much easier to care for other people's children than your own.
