Welcome, Kelly.
My husband & I adopted through foster care in June 2006. Our experience was WONDERFUL... although there are always issues you will have with the foster care program (we did have our share), we still have our beautiful daughters. Feel free to ask any questions you want. A little later, I will post more in detail our situation. Feel free to email me offlist if you would like.
Good luck!!

I sent this over a week ago and it was just returned to me. Weird.Today, after an anxious two weeks of waiting after an IUI we found out, we
were not pregnant. I have been thinking about the possibilities of adoption,
especially though foster care and I am looking for some advice.
Welcome Kelley. I'm so sorry you aren't pregnant, but adoption is a
wonderful way to add to a family. My name is Sandra. I live in CA with my husband and
almost 6 year old bio son Ryan. I had major complications with Ryan and
couldn't risk another pregnancy so we turned to adoption. We were both always
interested in adoption even before having Ryan so it seemed natural to us. We
are in the middle of an international adoption. Our daughter was born 11/19 in
Guatemala. She is beautiful and I can't wait to get her home sometime in
spring. We are going next month to visit her. I don't have any personal
experience with fost-adopt but have heard of many cases that went well.
