Greetings,

My husband and I are looking to adopt an older child between 3-6. We already have a bio. child who is 4 1/2. Concerns of friends and family is the intense help a post instutional older child might need (ie, therapy etc) How can I answer this question for them and for myself. At what price to other children in the family to introduce a new family member with the possibility of great psych. and emotional problems?

Thanks for any help and advice,

Mommamia
