Before I decided to TTC, I tried to adopt from the foster care system and I was a foster parent for 3 years. Honestly, I have heard many good things about NJ's foster care system but in GA, the social workers try their hardest to place infants and toddlers with their birth familes. Therefore, there are not very many available- unless your open to a sibling group or children with difficult special needs. I have fostered 6 infants and I didn't get to adopt a single one. The process was long and upredictable and their is a lot of legal risk involved if your looking to adopt an infant but the rewards can be great if you stick to it.
I wish you the best of luck and hope that you have a better outcome than I did
