I'm not reading any kind of baggage into your post....just saying that it doesn't mesh with reality. I guarantee that if you are a fit person to be a parent, you will be able to adopt a baby through DCFS without a problem in probably about a years time. I know....because I have adopted kids myself and have seen firsthand the people in my group as well as numerous friends and other individuals all adopt infants over the last 5 years. The idea that you can't do it...that its impossible or even that it is difficult, is plain and simply a lie. Sorry...I can't sugar-coat it differently than that. Maybe things are different in Los Angeles than they are around the rest of the country...but I seriously doubt it.
Again my parents were involved in DCFS for years as foster parents after I left for college. They got involved thru friends in our church, I grew up side by side with their bio and foster kids, saw how the system worked (horribly...they were a great family but the same kids came and went like yo yos because *they were not available for adoption* and some finally died at the hands of their bio parents.)
It is reality. Go take your lies somewhere else. Some people manage to do it thru DCFS and SOME CANNOT.
