Our two came home at 3yrs 5 mos and 3yrs 3mos respectively. I would have to agree with everything the other posters said. I would not trade my two for anything in the world, but I think it's incredibly important that you understand that your child WILL have issues.

They will.

These children are the survivors. The ones who have beaten circumstances that took some of their friends. And in order to survive, they have learned some skills and behaviors that are very tough and don't work in a family setting. It is reality. I am talking about this very thing in a series on my blog right now. I want people to never feel alone in their struggles.

Now having said all that, this is exactly the age I would take again. It is the hardest, most emotionally stressing thing I have ever done, and my kids are worth every tear and sleepless night.

Hugs to you!
