You should seriously explore waiting child/foster care adoption if you're interested in parenting an older child. It is most definitely possible for military families to adopt, and in waiting child adoption your expenses are extremely low to none.
Your best bet at this point would be to contact your local Social Services/Child Welfare office and inquire about materials, information sessions, etc.
You can also find a great deal of information at your local library and online at places like [url]www.adoptuskids.com[/url] and the National Adoption Information Clearinghouse [url]http://naic.acf.hhs.gov/.[/url]
HTH, best of luck,
