I think I might know where you can get one if you have somewhere between $300k-$800k laying around... ;-) Or, you could apparently just apply for Federal Stimulus Funds, they seem to be giving money away for everything these days! So on a serious note, I continue to be amazed how anyone gets through this process at all. It requires so much attention to so many details - and so much patience. The system really does ensure that people that go through all of this REALLY want to adopt children - because you can't go through all of this without already being committed to the child or children before you even have them! Of course I know it's different for every adoption and for every country, state, city.. but this level of rigor certainly must discourage alot of adoption as well. I wonder how much of this rigor is really necessary in every instance. Looks to me like you and Fred could use an Adoption Management System (AMS).

(This is why you were meant to be so relatively young for your second adoption - so you have all the energy required!)
