I'm cross-posting this because I'm not quite sure where it belongs.

I completed my homestudy almost a year ago, with the intent to adopt girl (or girls) in the 5-9 age range. I originally chose that age range because she/they would be able to attend the school I teach at, and I was pretty realistic about the chances of adopting a young child without being a foster parent first. I have not had much success at a match thus far.

I now have the opportunity to submit my homestudy for a child just under 2. I have been in contact with the child's worker, letting her know that my homestudy is geared toward older children. She suggested that I could personally include something with my homestudy to make it more "age-appropriate." Aside from daycare issues and safety considerations for a younger child, what points would you suggest I address or what issues should I bring up in my explanation?
