Would you consider a special-needs or older child?
If you want to adopt right away, think about adopting a special-needs child — or an older one. But the two of you really need to be honest about what you can handle, physically, emotionally, and financially, as we mentioned above. A baby with a heart condition may be more than you can cope with or afford, but you might be able to offer a caring home for a deaf child, or one who uses a wheelchair. Adopting a five-year-old may be appealing to some parents who’d just as soon skip the diaper days, while others will only consider an infant.
There are no right or wrong answers to these questions. What matters most is answering honestly once you've gotten enough information to know what to expect. So do your research and think about your hopes and dreams. Then you’ll be ready to start the journey to find a child who’ll fill your heart with love.
