My husband and I finally have a completed homestudy, and are hoping to adopt a waiting child. We have inquired about a couple of children that we have seen in photolistings. We have a 5 year old son, and would like to maintain birth order so that he will remain the oldest child. We are aware that most of the children waiting for "forever families" are older than 5, but we do know there are younger children as well. I would like to know if anyone else has had a situation similar to ours, and if so, how did you go about finding the perfect match for your family? We had considered trying foster parenting, but decided it wouldn't be in the best intrest for ourselves as well as or son. We wouldn't do well with having to say goodbye to a child we might grow a bond with. What should we do now? THANKS!!!!!!
