1. An optimistic attitude
Although attitude is not everything, an optimistic attitude can be a source of strength when going through the adoption process. Remember what the end result is going to be; the adopting of an adorable loving child will keep you in an optimistic mood.
2. Knowledge of the Interstate Compact for the Placement of Children (ICPC)
This is an agreement between states to work together for what is best for the children in their state. The agreement is meant for adoptive families that wish to adopt outside of their state. The states will work together to provide resources to families and children from other states during and after an adoption placement.

Many military families are aware of this agreement, but may not be aware of the fact that ICPC is also in effect for military bases overseas. Because military bases are U.S. territories, any family based internationally can still adopt from the states through the ICPC.
3. Vast resources of information
