other concerns with older child adoption
We are considering adopting a child 3-5 years old from Panama. We have 2 bio children 7 and 1. I have concerns about their safety but also the pshycological well being of the adopted child. How hard is it on them to be taken away from all they know by strangers and taken to a country that is so different from their own? I know they have a better life here in the long run, and that we all adopt out of love for these children, but I can't help but wonder how it affects them. Please do not miss understand me, I believe in international adoption of older children. I just have these questions running around inside. I just always think how scary it must be for them. What are they feeling inside? Unable to talk to anyone about these feelings because of the language barrier. We are hoping to find a therapist that speaks spanish here in town so we can start theropy ASAP. I don't know if there is an answer I just need someone to talk to about these feelings or thoughts I am having. I hope I have not affended anyone.
Thank you.
