Pro's & Cons of Adopting a 3-5-Year-Old Vs. Younger

Theresa,I just know you will adopt again - it's been on your mind for some time. I hope you get the bills under control quickly.As you know, we requested one child under the age of 12 months. We ended up adopting 2 bio siblings ages 2 & 4. It just goes to show that you don't always know what you want!Yes, I sometimes mourn the fact that we didn't have them as babies, but they are so wonderful that I cannot imagine anything different. I agree 100% with Crispex's comments.I would add that older children are able to enjoy all of the things that you want to share with them...Christmas is more fun with a child than with an infant, a trip to the zoo is thrilling, a visit to a playground is great. Our kids love all of those things and we didn't have to wait for them to get older to appreciate it. JenPS- Just remember that Kayden could come with siblings ;)
