In response to thelorax - I happen to know that Brandt & Erica initially went the foster care route. It was when they lived in another state. They moved back to Mississippi before they had the opportunity to care for a child, however.
Their journey to adoption led through miscarriages, false starts, and much heartbreak. They really couldn't face some of the domestic adoption challenges. It was only after a great deal of prayer, thought, and research that they went forward with their foreign adoption.
Thelorax, I think you were a bit hasty in assigning motivation to others. I can hear your passion for the well-being of the many, many children in the foster care system. Unfortunately, that passion may cloud your perception of others and may even weaken your effectiveness in getting across your very important message.
