[quote=Anonymous]International adoption would present some challenges but alleviate others. There have been real strides in de-institutionalization overseas over the past decade or so. What this means is that you have kids who have been raised in foster care, or sort of a childrens' village, rather than a big impersonal orphanage, which helps with many of the issues around attachment. Of course, it is expensive, and the language/cultural issues are enormous, but I would be much more comfortable with an international adoption of an older child in 2016 than I could have been in 2006, given the changes in how those kids are treated.
