We were sad that we couldn't adopt Alice, but happy that we got to be part of the foster adoption process for a very sweet and deserving little girl.
My husband and I always knew that we wanted to grow our family through adoption, but took time to carefully choose our route. Here's how we ultimately decided to adopt from U.S. foster care.
