Having gone through the adoption process successfully twice, I've thought a bit about what it might mean to create a product that could help here. One challenge is that adoption is very local and distributed. The homestudy and post placement processes don't seem like obvious areas where you could make incremental improvements to the current system.

There could be something in a service to help with adoption profiles. There's a lot of parts to that process that could be facilitated. I also wonder if parts of the education process (eg several of the mandatory parenting, etc. classes) could be put online.
