Can you answer Richelle78’s question about Adoption?:
My husband and I are foster parents and we are planning on adopting through our foster care agency. However, we really want to adopt an infant as well. We know our chances are slim of getting a baby through foster care that we would eventually be able to adopt. So, here is what I don’t know. Are we able to work with more than one adoption agency, one for foster care to adoption and a seperate agency that would be for the infant adoption? We live in Pennsylvania, so if anyone is familiar with adoption regulations here, that would help.

Also, do you think that being foster parents would hurt our chances of being selected by a birth family to adopt thier newborn?
