My wife and I considering adopting an older Asian girl to bring into our family. We have twin 10 year old boys we adopted when they were 6. We had considered adopting an older American girl, but sadly they have a lot of emotional baggage they bring with them. We still deal with abandonment issues with our boys and we've agreed that another child with emotional problems might be too much.
We have friends that have adopted 2 younger Asian girls and have recommended Asian adoptions as these girls are often abandoned, grow up in orphanages and typically don't have emotional issues.
Has anyone adopted older Asian children? I have some concerns about their ability to adapt into American culture based on relationships with Asians who have emigrated to the US.
Maybe my concerns are unfounded.
Thanks.
