Adopting older kids
I've been lurking on this site for a while. I'm curious to know the realities of adopting older kids.
My husband and I almost hosted two girls this summer (ages 7 & 9, I think), but we didn't have our homestudy done and time ran out.
We had initially ruled out Russia because of the expense. And I've heard all of the issues with adopting older kids -- attachment disorders, post traumatic stress, etc. I know there's a risk to having children -- whether biological or adopted, but I just want to get a better idea of the experiences of others. I can't stop thinking about those little girls.
