Please don't use the term "orphan" in writing, especially in a formal invitation to the adoption court hearing. That comes across self-serving, and undermines the miracle of what you've done for them. They have enough labels on them. It comes across as pity, and that's not fair to them. I try very hard NOT to define my four adopted children in certain ways, although it's difficult at times with the fact that they are older (like yours) and obviously have not always been with me.
I recently finalized (as a single parent no kids myself) the adoption of a sibling set of four precious children (5, 8, 10, 13)....AND i homeschool all 4!
God bless...
