Would you adopt an older child?

Absolutely, but I'd want to make sure I knew what kind of special needs/problems the child has before hand to make sure I'd be able to handle it properly.

Definitely! Older children can talk to you and tell you what is wrong and how they feel. They need a loving home too.

If I was ever to want to adopt a child, I don't think it would matter too much how old they were. I know people who would love to adopt an older child because they haven't got all the nappies and potty training, etc. to go through. I think younger adoptive parents should be encouraged to adopt older children, particularly teenagers. They could be so much closer to them and they really would understand things unlike some older parents who can't really remember or it was different when they were growing up so they actually don't understand.

if i was unable to have kids im so set n being a mom i would adopt a child of any age as long as the match was right
