[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

When we began looking in to adoption 6 months ago, I could not believe
the things I was told. The bottom line was, we were too young and/

or poor to adopt healthy babies, but we were considered negotiable
for the unwanted kids- physically or mentally disabled, babies who's
parents are from two different racial groups. David and I would be
glad to adopt these babies, but there was always discouraging reamrks.
I know that some of it had to do with David being blind. After all
that I had surgery to hopefully correct my fertility problem, so we
decided to keep trying the old fashioned way(grin). Nothing yet, so
maybe we'll look into foster care. ............Sue
