I'm looking to adopt a sibling group of two ages 1-6 through foster care. I'm hoping the younger child will be one or two. I didn't get licensed for an infant as I started a new job and won't have a lot of time to take off at placement.

I got a call today for a 3 and 5 year old. I'm just wondering if I'll be missing out on too much of the baby/toddler times if start with a 3 year old.

Can anyone share any experiences with adopting children 3 and older? I know it would be nice to miss out on diapers and a few years of daycare costs, but I'm wondering how much of the 'first years' I'll miss.

Or would anyone be willing to share pictures? I haven't been around younger children for awhile and I'm having a hard time remembering how 3-5 year old children act and play. Now whenever I see young children I want to ask the parents how old they are.

Thanks for any advice you might have.
