I think I am an older child adoption success story. I adopted four teenage boys in 2006 and after one year I can say that I am very happy. My older boys were about as old as they can get and still be adopted internationally but things having been going smoothly and the bonding has been great. The kids seem to have no more troubles than any teenager might have and that is in spite of living with a single dad in a foreign culture and having to deal with a new language. Actually, when I look at the transition they have had to make, I am amazed and very proud of their progress. The boys are very happy to be here and having a family after 10 years in an orphanage has been beyond their dreams. I have seen their self esteem grow and I think they will have a very good life now compared to what they might have had before.
Pete, pop to four great kids.
