Ask yourself the following questions (or, if you are a couple, you each need to ask yourselves):
1) Do I need to change my expectations about the kind of child I might be able to get matched with?
2) Do I need to change my agency in order to adopt children from another state or to have more cooperation in the matching process?
3) Do I need to represent myself better to my agency so they can write an addendum to my homestudy that includes things that I may have left out? (Remember, workers are looking for people who have been through tough things.)
4) Do I need to gain some more experience in order to better prepare myself?
5) Do I need to go in a completely different direction, such as foster parenting first?
6) Do I need to ask for some help?
After you ask yourself all those questions and come up wtih some answers, act on them.

Just have to say, I really love these questions and this whole thing. Would have been quite a help to a lot of people. Hope others just getting into all this have access to this information. It is valuable.
