In adoptions they usually have kids come in on foster care, and then after the parents drop out of the system, the kids get adopted out to the foster family. Even in an outright adoption proceeding, there is a pre-adoptive placement that is similar to foster care.Now on adoption outside of DHS you might talk to an Indian nation here. Not to speculate why here, but not a lot of people seem to want Indian kids, even moreso if they're not babies. If you go that route, read up on ICWA, and make sure ICWA is followed for your case. Some of the nations go through OKDHS, some are big enough to have their own department for adoptions.From my perspective you don't really sound committed to it, but I hope it works out for you. Even if you don't adopt, maybe you could still mentor or tutor or do something good for the lives of children in these situations.</blockquote>
