I would guess too, that you are talking about adopting an older child from the system. Please educate yourselves thoroughly before undertaking such a challenge. It is not like adopting an infant in regards to the way you can parent, and certainly realize that they come with varying degrees of issues to deal with.
I would start by getting an opinion from your local Human Resources Dept...or your DCFS or DSS...whichever name is used in your state.
We have done international, through the system (older children), and private, transracially infant adoption. We would not go back to older adoption again-----I never say 'never' anymore....but I can't imagine it.
Sincerely,
Linny
