[quote=Anonymous]1. Did you already have kids? Yes, I had one bio kid and had another bio kid after we adopted.
2. Did you adopt privately through an agency or through the foster system? internationally through an agency
3. How long did the process take? 14 months (14 years ago)
4. What age was your child(ren) when you adopted? 8 months
5. How much did the adoption cost? Maybe $20K but then got back an adoption tax credit of about half the amount.
6. Anything you learned along the way that would be helpful to someone considering adoption or anything you did differently you would share?) We love all of our children equally and they are all treated the same by us, the parents as well as the grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins. Our child that we adopted is in many ways our easiest child. I often bring up her birth country/birth parents, but she says that she really isn't that interested in it. I don't know that the future holds, but up until this point there have been no attachment issues or any other issues (other than 6 months of speech therapy). We love her unconditionally and no differently than the two I gave birth to. She has our full support if she ever wants to search for her birth parents or visit her birth country. I would love to meet them, too and for them to see that she has had a good life.[/quote]
