Probably a long shot (long)

Ok, I have posted here and few other boards so you may have seen me pose lots of questions. I am 41 and hubby is 42. We have one DH 3 yrs old from Guat. Hubby was married before and has two sons 18 and 16 who are with us every other weekend. We were praying Guat would reopen as we wanted to adopt a specific little girl. We had NEVER considered special needs but when we saw this little girl a whole new world opened up. She was blind in one eye and the eye itself was very cloudy and gray looking. It was thought that surgery MIGHT restore some of the site but at minimum something could be done to improve the apperance. However Guat did not reopen and with mixed emotion she was adopted domestically in Guatemala. So happy for her but sad it wasn't with us. So that brings me to looking at other options. I know we don't qualify for a child under 3 due to our ages for the Colombia program but was wondering if this requirement is waived for special needs adoption. We are open to minor/correctable needs as that is what we feel comfortable with. Is it possible for us to adopt a special needs child under 3 - we are trying to maintain birth order. What would some of the special needs be? What agency would be best to work with for our situation - if its even possible? Oh and we are hoping for a girl. We spoke with Gladney and to be honest I thought the cost was way out of whack compared to other agencies - $35k or so (all inclusive- travel, agency, HS etc..) Thanks Chrissy
