After some graphs showing some less than exciting changes in the pool over the last month, time for a new chart! Now that we're going through the pool a second time, we have an entirely new perspective considering that our family is different from so many others in the pool. We have already tracked waiting families by orientation, but this time around it made sense to do a quick look to see how many other families have children as well.
As shown above, only 17 families out of the 94 total have children right now. Each birthfamily will look at the available waiting families differently. Some might want to choose a family without kids while others might choose an adoptive family with kids to guarantee that the child will grow up with at least one sibling. Admittedly, we're hoping for a family with the latter perspective or one that is open to either case!
Andy, Brian, and Dominic, I wish little cousin Cora was the one doing the choosing for you. We all know she loves pie, and that purple is her favorite color. And without saying, the name "Magee". In that case, the odds would be very heavily slanted your way.
