I've been considering old adopotion as well, my heart just hurts for kids who age out of the system without a family to anchor them. And looking thru the photolisting system, there are a lot of kiddos who are going to do just that. But I have to wonder, would adoption be worth it for a 16 or 17 year old to relocate? They are so social and friend-driven, I'm wondering if it would even be of interest.

This is an issue for me because I live in a small town, so adopting locally is not really an option, adopting in state is likely not even an option.
