I've never liked the phrase "Special Needs". The first few times I heard it I assoicated it with a handicap (I mean disablity).

To suggest that because a child is...

- Older than 6

- A "minority"

- Member of a sibling group

- Has unique psycological or phycial requirements

...only makes the child less desirable to those poking into the notion of adopting.

Why not

GREAT KIDS,

OUR KIDS,

I don't know something positive, upbeat...
