It is amazing how many sites there are to find kids on. There are a couple bigger sites that have kids from all states, then there are some so specific that they only have ones from a certain county.
The other part that is difficult to get is the kiddo's information. I'm not talking about their full life story, I understand why that isn't out there for the world to see. The part I struggle with is the sites that only show a picture and a name. If they had ages and even a quick checklist of if the kiddo has severe medical/behavioral/emotional needs, that would be AMAZING!
What would be even better is if there was just one website that anyone (with an approved home study) could log into and see all the adoptable kiddos in the country. That would mean that every state would have to use the same software, but then the information could be automatically uploaded, it would save caseworkers time, hopeful parents time, and would help more kiddos be adopted because you would have one place to look instead of 50+.
Someone needs to get on this!
