	PublicAdoption.com is a complete narration and explanation  of the current government public adoption procedure.  All information is from the authors first hand personal experiences.
	I designed this informational web site to help spread the word about Public Adoptions. Private adoptions seam to get all of the press and advertisement coverage.  I want everyone to know the secret of public adoptions. Possibly, like me, you can find a loving child through the US government.  Literally thousands of great adoptable children are available right here in the good old US of A, and there is no better option than with your local government.
	I always wanted to adopt a child, not only because I liked the idea, but I also figured it was a good way for me to contribute to society.  As I grew older waiting for the right time, I slowly collected information on the subject. Over the years; I like most people had heard several stories of private adoptions, both domestic and international.  I heard of various public figures and acquaintances alike with tales of various battles waged by adoptive parents involving agency problems, foreign political issues, legal hang ups, sketchy birth parents, and all involved high lawyer/expense fees.
	I wondered if there was another way.  I wondered why the process had to be so  hard on the adoptive parents. I hoped that a thing that was so wonderful could also be relatively easy and straight forward. Luckily I stumbled across a great solution for me, and it was all to the credit of our government, what a pleasant surprise! Public Adoption. It made sense; our governments social services programs are directly involved with child custody, well being, foster care, and adoptions of all children in the US.  Why not go to the source for the children that need adopting right here?
	I was currently enrolled in a pre-adoptive class at a private non profit adoption agency. In the class I discovered that one of the agencies primary sources of adoptable children was the various county government human service agencies in the local area. I gave the county government a call.  I discovered I could work directly with my local human services department, through their social workers.  I could adopt a child directly from them, cutting out the middle man and some of the  red tape in the process.
	I decided to give it a try.  I signed up for the free after work, pre-adoption training-which proved to be very informative. I figured I could drop out at any time if I decided it  was not for me, no harm no fowl. Social workers also confirmed that this was the case and that most potential parents approach the system this way.
	After nine short months, I was the proud father of a 18 month old baby girl (see the Process page for more information about issues that affect your expected waiting time prior to receiving your child placement).  She is now  almost five and the entire process went without a hitch.
	Up to the point when I signed the final adoption paperwork in the judges chambers I could have decided that the adoption was not going to work out I could have called it off with no penalty.

	There is no time like now to start the adoption process!  There is no risk and you can drop out at anytime, with no penalty. Take advantage of your US government.
