[quote=Anonymous]My honest feedback is don't do it. You have no experience with raising a kid and starting with an older kid who has experienced trauma and who will very likely have attachment issues is just a really bad idea for you as parents and as the child. If you want to be parents, and you want to adopt, pursue infant or toddler adoption. Neither are without risks and there is also attachment issues to be on the lookout for but in general attachment professionals will say that a child adopted by age 3 the greatest chance of building a real attachment to adopted parents.
