    Adopting a 7 year old or older is the best option. There are 36 couples waiting to adopt for every infant that is up for adoption in the US. The older kids get largely ignored and will likely age out of foster care without ever finding a forever family.

      Definitely! Personally, I think skipping the part when the child is just a crying, pooping machine that doesn’t sleep through the night is a win.
