Family and friends I urge you to consider adoptions if you are interested in adding children to your life. Living at COTP with babies waiting to be matched has broken my heart for the world of adoption. We photo list our special needs babies who are waiting here. There is a photo list of children and family groups in my hometown of Sioux Falls waiting for families.
If financial assistance is the issue for you see below some of the resources out there. I received this list for Lutheran Social Services when I was in the States this March. The list was updated as of February 2012.

Thank you for posting this, Mateja! We received a grant from Show Hope for our first domestic adoption. I also wanted to let you know about Reece's Rainbow. I believe the waiting children at COTP are all listed there. Joshua has over $2000 already donated towards his adoption costs! He is listed on their site as Josiah. Just thought I'd let you know.
