(8,492 posts)38. I'm always on the fence with adoption.
There are times when I think it should be so much easier and less expensive. Other times, I think it should be more strict (but, still less expensive). It all depends on the individual case. I see so many people wanting to adopt that fight for years only to be shut down in the process. They become weary and disillusioned. A lot of potential loving and supportive parents lost to red tape and judgmental tools.
I'm glad you got that lead paint thing taken care of, though.
And, please do keep us updated!
