We decided to submit our homestudy today for another child. It's an almost four year old child who is legally free for adoption. He came up as part of a matching process through a local organization that helps promote adoption from foster care. It turns out that he's being placed from the same office at which we did our MAPP training. His worker was one of our MAPP trainers. I don't want to go into lots of detail but this little guy has lots of food allergies and intolerances that would need to be accommodated. DH and I have several friends who have children with food allergies and special diets. We see our friends do it and feel that we could handle it.
The hitch is that there's a possibility of a kinship placement so we may be out of the running already. I'll keep you posted.

Good luck! I think that food allergies are fairly easy to "deal" with after you know what they are. If the child goes to daycare, you can make a "do not eat" list for him. When I worked in daycare there was NEVER a problem with food allergies or aversions. We were always very aware of it and had no problem keeping in contact with the parents.
*HUGS*
I wish you luck.
Fingers are crossed :)
Hoping for you...
Ack - nerve wracking! Good luck!
