My husband and I have 4 children, ages 11-24. We love kids, and would really like to adopt an "older" child, up to age 8 or 9. School age is the best; not interested in the diaper routine, etc. We could even take siblings. We're not rich, but not exactly destitute either. We own our own home, our cars, and have room and love to spare. I have no clue where to begin. A special needs child would be ok, as long as there's nothing severe to deal with. (I own my own business, so my time is more flexible, but I do have to go in now and then!) We'd be particularly interested in a bi or multi-racial child. We are a bi-racial family. Where do I start, and how hard is this? We've talked about this for quite some time, and our younger children especially are eager for a younger sibling. Can someone tell me what to do next?
