Ok, this may be lengthy, but pls bare with me. My husband and I are looking to adopt but we dont want an infant, we actually prefer an older child. W already have our own, but I am adopted too, just not in the common sense. (my adoption was complicated) Anyway, we would like to adopt an older child. Does that make a difference. I am afraid to do foster care because I get attached easily. What if "mommy" comes back? That scares me!! I would like a child around 4 and up. give or take. There re so many kids out there without someone to love them. My husband and I want to love them. I am in school to be a paralegal and possibly law school when I graduate. What do they look at when looking to adopt? We have no criminal records, we are prior military cops and no drug or alcohol problems, but we have bad credit and we rent. Is that bad? I just dont want to be rejected. I think that would hurt, someone telling me I am not good enough to love a child. What should I do? Help! Advice needed!
