link I found under the child law post

Sad, but I have been saying this for years....  even 14 year old boys who are African American have people wanted to adopt them.... 

When I was trying to adopt it was almost impossible to get a straight homestudy to adopt children from foster care.  There were upwards 300 families that would inquire about waiting children on lists; 

the mess up system would not let many kids get adopted.

the post under the link says only 71 children in the entire USA was allowed to be placed in a different state for adoption last year  from public foster care

that in some states it is so bad they don't let kids cross even in state county lines....  and they grow up and age out of the system...
