I made this decision months ago, and as I dig in knowing it'll be a challenge... It's going to be a challenge, just to get the chance to foster or adopt.

At least one flight to California to clear up one legal issue, from a cursory view, and most likely doomed to failure at least for the first attempt. I expect that much at least, but nothing good happens without at least an honest attempt. I'm certain that 2 points, having bipolar II disorder, and being an alcoholic (sober since June '03) will be seen as negatives in spite of the fact that both are assets now, but I'm thinking a kid could and have done alot worse than me, financially and emotionally. I'm fully expecting that with the first failure to consider perhaps a bit of common sense would suggest I'm a much better parent than I dunno, a practicing crack/meth addict?

I think any kid would be lucky to have you. :)

I think that seeing what you have overcome would be a benefit for you. Wouldn't they look at that?

Good luck, though. I really hope you get this chance.
