Hello. I am an adoptions social worker in California and I just want you to know I advocate for teens like you on a daily basis. Majority of the children who need homes in just my county (over 400) areover age 5. But yet majority of applicants want to adopt Caucasian newborns. I try my hardest to inform them of the many kids who are older or minorities (or both) who desperately need loving homes. I don't get too many to change from wanting a baby to adopting a teen, but to see them open up desired age range- is a small success. If you or your parents are ever willing to be speakers at one of our trainings or support groups (even via skype) let me know. And even if you don't please don't stop sharing your story, for the sake of hundreds of other kiddos like you who still need a home. --Paz
