AdoptUSKids is an excellent resource provided by the U.S. Children’s Bureau to learn more about foster care and adoption.
A few facts about adoption from this site:
There are 104,000 children in U.S. foster care who are legally free and currently waiting for an adoptive home. Meet the children

You don’t need to own your own home, be wealthy, have children already, or be a stay-at-home parent to adopt. Most adoptions from U.S. foster care are free and any minimal costs associated with them are often reimbursable.

Please take a moment to become familiar with foster care and adoption. This is a very real and wonderful option if you are not ready to be a parent.
