[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't listen to the "so much joy" posters. That purely depends on the resources of the parents, the personality of the parents, and the challenges the child faces, which can all vary ENORMOUSLY. There's no one answer to this; but all adoption involves potential special needs. I think the questions to ask yourself are: are you the type of family that handles stress well? Do you look on the bright side? Do you feel like parenthood was easy? Do you have a good support network? If the answers to all those questions are "yes," and you WANT to adopt this baby, then I think it's a good choice. For me personally, I haven't dealt well with the stress of one child, have a crappy marriage, and weak support network, and not a lot of financial resources. So it would not be a good decision for me. [/quote] Good advice[/quote]
