We're also adopting a toddler. She's about 28 months right now. And I also read Weaver's Craft. Great book! I know several folks who have adopted toddlers. Some have had more problems than others. What they all say is they would not have traded it for anything. I also know some folks who have adopted infants and then had problems later when the children were 3 or 4. I think a lot depends on the child and the adoptive parents. No matter what you decision - best of luck! LSMOM
