[quote=Anonymous]Experiencing secondary infertility and want to give our child a sibling before he gets any older. I’ve read that international adoptions have declined quite a lot in recent years, and I know adopting a newborn domestically isn’t easy either. We’re open to foster care, but are limited to babies and young toddlers as our other child is not 3 yet and need to be realistic about our ability to keep him safe from abused children who may act out. We’re open to any race, but only mild special needs where the child can live a fairly “normal” life (like cleft palate, birthmarks, HIV, etc). How realistic is it to adopt a child 2 or under these days meeting those criteria. I’m not sure we’re even eligible to adopt internationally because I briefly saw a counselor and took a low dose of an SSRI for anxiety last year- I’ve heard some countries won’t allow any mental health history, even very mild like that?[/quote]
