Sorry, but is it so difficult to understand why we who canned get children of our own, love to get a younger child? I have missed so much because of what nature decided for us; I have never held a sweet little own newborn in my arms. I have never been able to breast-feed my kids. When we decided that we wanted to adopt, we put a age-limit of 2 years on the application. I know there are many older kids, I know; let me tell this: we were the happiest parents in the world when we heard that our first baby from Korea was only 6 months old when was ready for adoption..... .Originally posted by moosmom
Okay, I may make some people angry but I've gotta say this.
What is wrong with adopting so many unwanted older children in the U.S.???
My childhood best friend is a foster parent in Connecticut. I also have a cousin who adopted a son from the Czech Republic 3 years ago, and is trying to adopt another child from the same place.
While I know people are looking for "babies" (the same way certain people look for kittens as opposed to adult cats) there are SO many unwanted older children that are in desperate need of loving homes. I also know that because of legalized abortions, there are far less infants available.
I just don't understand why people would spend THOUSANDS of dollars and go through miles of red tape just to have a "baby".
I don't mean any disrespect, I just find it bizarre.
About the money spent: we made sure that we didn't work with "money-getters", and that all the money spent went to our future kid and to the orphanage!
No offense though
