Hello all!
I am very curious about knowing more about the whole adoption, and foster care processes. What are the differences between the two? I'm not sure if we would be better suited to foster, or adopt, or maybe both one day! I have heard and read that the adoption process is a LONG one. Is foster care the same?
We have a 5-month old, and I'm interested in raising another child alongside her. Not another infant, but someone who is between 4-6 years old. Does it take as long to adopt around that age as it does an infant? I've heard that adopting infants is usually a longer process, because a lot of people are already registered and desire to care for children at that young of an age.
Thank you!
