Check work benefits too. All 3 of my jobs have provided financial assistance for adoption
Also I've heard you don't want to adopt foster children if you can, as shit as that sounds for me to type
Funny you mention that, the wife and I are starting the process this month. Our goal is to foster a little girl around the age of 5, late this spring or early summer, with the intent to adopt. All I know about the process at this point is that our hearts could get broken a few times as the biological parents can meet the minimum standards of getting their shit together just long enough to gain custody back of the child.
