adopting the "older" older child
I know the basics about birth order, but have a question.
Has anyone successfully adopted a child the same age as the oldest bio?
We were up front with our agency from the beginning that we were looking to adopt a daughter ages 12-14. My bio daughter will be 14 at the end of March. We have two bio boys as well ages 11 and 8.
Everything was going along fine until we come to wrapping up the homestudy. We can't get them to finish it and each time we ask about its status we get a different excuse.
This week its their concern over the birth order. We have had this discussion and the worker interviewed my oldest about this very issue. My daughter is the one who is really adamant about the potential family member BEING HER AGE.
We now have a conference call set up for Monday afternoon to discuss this because all of a sudden, the supervisor has something to say about it as well (6 months into this process!)
Are we not seeing something here, or is it possible that this could be a successful match for our family if we all agree? Its our family for crying out loud!
Very frustrated: mad:
