We involved our son from the start. He was 9 when we started the process and 12 when finally received his sister. He was excited.

In the most of the states you have to discuss this with your older children, because part of the homestudy done by the SW is a private interview with the child. I did not want to blind side my son, so we included him early in our decision. When he was interviewed by the SW she could not believe his thoughtful positive answers. During finalization the judge was also impressed with his answers.
