Hi
It does seem that the ages get mixed up sometimes on the older kids..am I reading your timeline correctly that you have visited her once? You have to do what is right for you and your family..but I would worry that she has gotten her hopes up all this time..I know of folks adopting a girl older than 10 from Guatemala...I also know of a family who adopted a 9 year old from Columbia and never had any problems (she picked up English quickly) that I know of..
How old is your son? Is she going to be older than him?
