My dh and I adopted a 20 month old boyfrom China in 2004. He was born with a cleft lip and pallette, which was repaired, you can hardly see the scar and he is the smartest kid in his preschool. We are leaving in a couple days to adopt a little girl with the same affliction. She is 3 years and 4 months old. We wanted toddlers only as well, our agency offered us pictures of children with special needs. Not really special needs to us, but to China they are. You are not obligated to take any of these children, but they beatiful normal chilren to most people. The adoption process is way shorter than for babies. Both are adoptions took well under a year. You can PM me and I would be happy to answer any questions.
