Sadly only about three contacted me back. Some of the agency's I even contacted twice. I clicked on the interested in this child link , filled out forms, etc. We are a licensed foster home with a current homestudy, I have a large home and make a good living and we are succesfull foster parents. If this is National Foster Care Month, why are none of these agencys/workers interested in getting their kids adopted???Frustratednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215221452163344319.post-66928992229446500382008-05-13T07:19:00.000-04:002008-05-13T07:19:00.000-04:00I dont know about FL but in PA I dont think there is a limit on the number of children you can adopt. I know of several families that have very large groups of children in their homes. I would think it would depend on whether the children were foster care or pre-adoptive children. It is my understanding that there is a difference between the two. PA has a limit of 6 in foster care, and that needs to include your own children. It can be a combination of both, but not over six. I think the red tape comes in when you are combining adopted/bio children then take in foster children, not preadoptive children. I believe PA has a system by which one can apply for an exception or waiver, such as keeping a sib group together. <BR/>If you find out the info for FL could you share it on the blog? I think that type of info can be very useful to all of us who are in this process, whether from our own state or out of state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215221452163344319.post-55438415552492723372008-05-07T03:16:00.000-04:002008-05-07T03:16:00.000-04:00Thank you for the link. I didn't know there was a website dedicated to Foster Care month.

We have 5 children already, but would love to adopt another child. I believe in the state of FL you can only have a total of 5 for foster care, but what about adoption?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
