The Great Debates....birth order, only children, etc.

Basically, the older the child you adopt, the more baggage the child has. Infants are pretty easy to bring into a family. Ten year olds are already very distinctive people. Some have very serious problems. Be cautious is my best advice to all Have a nice day and I hope that what you decide to do works out for you ) I'm NOT on the board for any fights! )

Appreciate hearing all opinions and points of view
Pam -
Just wanted to say that I have really appreciated all of the advice and "wisdom of experience" that you (and everyone else) have been sharing. I think it is really beneficial to read "agruments" for both sides of the "debate" because it really makes me look at the issue from all points of view. Thanks again.Laura

If I am nutty enough to load 7 kids up
ages 2,5,6,7,9,12,13 and head off to a small town in Mexico a 26 hour drive from home.... all alone with husband left back in the states..... with running water one hour per day, a rub board, a phone in town 4 miles away.... just so they can learn about their heritage and meet some "normal" biological family members so they can get a self esteem boost...
then I would think taking my 7, Pam's 7, and your 7 out to eat, with 3 adults would be a walk in the proverbial park. I am game... where and when are we meeting? As long as I don't have to boil water to wash clothes that is...
