We are adoptive parents to one child adopted internationally at age 3 now almost 6 years old. We would like to expand our family with an additional child 4-8 years or older. Our age is among the reasons we would prefer a bit older child. We feel like our child would do best with a child the same age or older. But we are not sure where to start. ( Our prior program doesn't typically place out of birth order so going back to the same program/country seems unlikely. We have looked into a few other international options but that is not our focus for this post). Where do you start for domestic adoption of a older child when your local state says 'we don't have a need for adoptive parents for that age range'?? What agencies are actually helpful in us find children waiting for a family that we would best be able to parent and support?? I have not come across any place that seems to fit we are in the MD/VA area if that makes a difference. HELP please!
Hi molly, have you looked into adopting through foster care (foster to adopt)? There is such a huge need! We are from pennsylvania and enjoying working through our agency called Adelphoi but unsure if they have anything local to you.

What part of Pennsylvania are you local to?
