I know of some people in Liberty County who adopted children in the late sixties and early seventies who were not well off, one couple were very poor. The father was a farmer and yet the managed to adopt a little girl. This same little girl grew up and gave her youngest baby away to a local couple. What are the qualifications for adopting a child? I have been told it's very expensive and you need to have insurance, a really good job and there are tons of hoops to jump through. Can anyone tell me how it really works? Thanks.

I, too, have an adult Korean adoptee, age 23 years, and would be interested in finding such a support group in the Baltimore area. I am wondering if you were able to help Joann find a group, and if so, could you pass the information along to me?

She has just recently been bringing up issues of feeling different because she is adopted, but more to the point, that she is Asian and that the general population in our area does not include a lot of Asians. Do you know of a support group for Asian adult adoptees in the Baltimore, Maryland area that we could look into, or do you have other suggestions which would help us? Thank you.
