Adoption Support Information

The AFA recently sent this one of their mailings. I thought it sounded like a wonderful support idea. If we were doing adoption right now, I'd be on that phone! So much of it seems to hard to navigate to me. Hopefully if we do decide (we're taking it one day at a time here.. Hub especially) to adopt, they'll offer something like this again around that time. The only thing is, we're really only considering State adoption. Is that covered here? It seems to me that there is so much less on that method until you actually start going through the process. Then the State itself seems to offer a lot. But it bothers me that you don't see it much anywhere else.
