I just received a call from the lady from the foster-to-adopt agency. She explained to me that they are now requiring families who want to adopt to be strictly foster parents to start. I asked her for how long, and she said it depends. Then, she went on to tell me about a family who fostered a little boy for a year. I told her that I wasn't sure that is something we are able and willing to do. If we didn't already have our daughter, maybe it wouldn't matter as much. However, I am not willing to have someone in her life (as a sibling) for a year and then have them removed. We are also not willing to take children older than her. Not only that, but it will take us even longer to adopt a child of our own if we have to foster for x amount of time.
The lady is sending us the information, but I feel so discouraged right now. First, there is no way that we can afford an adoption through an agency or a private adoption, and now we may not be able to do fostering-to-adopt. I just want to scream.

I'm so sorry. Hopefully when you get the information the wait time won't be so long. In the mean time, it is ok to scream. ((hugs))
