Can you handle the emotional complications that come with adopting a child?
Sure, you love kids and you may have wanted one for a long time. But are the two of you really prepared to open your hearts and home to a child who may look very different from you and your families? How would you feel about not knowing much about your baby’s birth family — including their health and genetic history — if you go the closed-adoption route? If you’re considering international adoption or adopting a special-needs child, think about the future when your little one may be teased or bullied because he looks or acts differently from his classmates. There may be tough days ahead, so consider now whether you’re able and willing to be in this for the long haul.
