[quote=Anonymous]Luck really. We were listed on ParentProfiles and generally advertising that we hoped to adopt a newborn. A friend knew we were looking, and told us that he knew of a little boy, 10 months old, and asked if we would be interested because that was outside the age range we specified in our adoption profile. We said we were. He passed that along to the birthmother who called us a few days later. We flew to meet her that weekend, fell in love with her son, talked a lot, and mutually agreed that we wanted to move forward with the adoption plan. At the time our adoption attorney told me it was very rare to adopt a toddler. I didn't have a frame of reference then, but now I'm active in an adoption education and support group and also a foster parent, I've come to appreciate how right our adoption attorney was.[/quote]
