My oldest was 2 days old and I picked him up at the hospital...my second was 8 weeks when his bio-mom (13 yrs old) decided she could not parent him. Our oldest was a "legal risk". Our second (though they usually do not place 2 young babies in the same house) came to us by referral because we had such a great rapport with b-mom. She had been VERY difficult with the state, but we were able to communicate with her. Because they had the same issues with our youngest's family we were a prime canidate. We accepted and adopted Bug when he was 11 months old and Bear when he was 13 months old!

BUT, mj77 is right...it IS a very emotional ride.
