Question

I am thinking about adoption from the department of social services(dss). can anybody give an ideal of what the procedure details as far as what they look for in a cori and background check. this something that i really want to do i been thinking about this for about three years and i'm ready to go forward with it, I love children and I think their is a child out their for me to take care of. I have three children of my own but, they are all grown youngest 21 the oldest 25. And I have three grandchildren residing in Atlanta just went there a month ago. I just want to know is this a hard procedure to go threw with. My son has been into trouble(21) before and recently but, never been convicted of anything just had to pay fines for auto violation, driving without a license(suspended) I dont' know if this would get in the way when they do a cori check on him, so any suggesting greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I would advise against adopting from the State. Most of those kids are older and have serious emotional issues. You have to remember that they come from abusive and neglectful homes. They don't come with return policies.

You might want to check into becoming a foster parent first. At least then, you'd get a stipend to take care of the child.

I used to work for the Arkansas Dept of Human Services. You sound like you would be a great parent (your son's issues shouldn't reflect poorly on you). I think that there is a great need for foster parents and if you did that, you'd have a child (temporarily at least) and you'd be doing a great service for the State and the child.

Call you local DHS office (or whatever they call it where you are) and ask to speak to someone about fostering and they can get your application (over the phone sometimes) and then get you into the training classes. You'd have to go through that before you could adopt from the State anyway.

Order your individual FBI examine . Its approximately 50.00 or use to be, then save on with to foster a newborn out of your DDS. ( while i grew to become into an adolescent i mandatory a foster residing house, by no skill have been given one) they took good boys and the extra youthful and cute. I heard thoughts of foster mom and dad giving intense quantities of housekeeping to young ones, they felt used. young ones want Grandma fosters too. examine up on the library on youngsters from dysfunctional familys. believe has been broken and that they are going to attempt .you. once you do at last undertake a newborn which would be marvelous, you would know who it will be, dont rush it. the 1st ingredient to do is initiate loving and that i will verify you're already doing (loving) 2nd, get the residing house waiting,(no shade yet) have a large time doing it yet by no skill get linked to him/her liking it. ) wish to hearken to extra, happy New 12 months! l.w.
