Older child adoption stories?

DH and I aren't even done with our home study yet (2 more months to go!) but I've been looking at the photo listings of waiting children in my state and am very interested in two children, 8 and 6 yeas old. I've been reading books about older child adoption and children in foster care but I was wondering if I could get your take.

Did you adopt an older child and if you did, how has the experience been for you? Thanks!
