Adopting an Older Child

Anna,
We adopted our son when he was 7, he is now 13 and just became a Bar Mitzva in an Orthodox Shul. He didn't even know what the word Jewish was when he came home with us. Now he wants to become a Rabbi when he grows up. Might I add he is also Black! He attends an Orthodox Jewish Day School and is quite a remarkable kid. You should read his Bar Mitzvah speech, it brought the whole congregation to tears. I'm sure with faith and patience your child to will learn to love Torah. Keep in touch, let me know how it goes.
