I think there needs to be more advertising, for lack of a better word, encouraging adoption and fostering. I think many people, me for one, wouldn't have the slightest idea how to go about it. I also think many people don't realize how great the need truly is. For instance, when some of the children came from Haiti, there were literally hundreds of call inquiring about adopting them. The only thing I can think is they really don't understand how many children there are in the states who need to be adopted.
It also disappoints me that many people won't adopt a child once it reaches a certain age. They must have a young child or a baby. I had always planned to adopt a child. My health tanked before we were able to do anything like that. It is something I have always strongly believed in and it was a great disappointment to me that I was unable to do so. There are so many children already here that desperately need stable homes.
