My husband and I are going to start MAPP classes in the spring and want to adopt an older child. We are in our 50's, have custody of our 7 yr old granddaughter and do not want babies or toddlers. I'm not concerned about the blood issue. It is the holiday issue. Are there other JW's out there who have fostered/adopted older kids and how well did they adjust to not celebrating holidays? Our granddaughter has no problem with it as she likes just getting gifts whenever, not having to wait until her birthday or Christmas. Any thoughts from someone with real-life experience?
