[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are interested in adopting in the next several years and would be very happy with a child older than infant age.  I am 31, he is 34, and for medical reasons are not able to have biological children.  We are possibly interested in adopting siblings.  We currently live in a small condo in DC.  In much of the literature we've read online, the adoptive parents are required to provide one bedroom per child per gender (if we adopted two girls, they could share a room but a boy and girl would each need their own room).

Would we need to move to a bigger space before this would even be feasible?  At the moment, we have two bedrooms - ours plus a smaller room that is more like a den.  Have others had experience with this?  On the one hand it seems a little crazy to move before we've even really started filling out paperwork, but I've also heard that once you start the paperwork process it can be complicated - would we need to start over if we move from DC to Maryland or Virginia?  Is moving in the process something that would slow the process down?  Have others moved with the goal of adopting and either been happy or regretted it?  Very much appreciate hearing any experience with this. [/quote]
