Just beginning this process and was looking into adoption grants. Do these organizations ever give grants to families who already have children. Wondering if its worth applying. Prefereance must be given and awarded to families without any children I assume. Thanks!

    I was wondering the same thing... My guess would be to call the organizations and ask about the criteria.

    Most the grants I looked at said they give priority to those families without children but that doesn't mean they don't consider couples who already have kids.

    Good luck!
