[quote=Anonymous]Adoptions Together has many different types of programs and may have one that meets your needs. They also may have programs that you might not have thought about that your husband would be amenable to. I agree with PP about being sure your DH is on board. Parenthood is hard and parenting an older adopted child brings different challenges that are likely to be different than the parenting experiences of your friends. One other thing I would suggest is that you really educate yourself regarding the issues you might face. Two issues that I faced were/are prenatal alcohol exposure and attachment issues with both of my older adopted kids. [/quote]
