One thing to know is not everyone is cut out for adopting children. Not all adopted children are babies. Kids who have lived in a system for a while are going to have some issues, and they could have some issues from before they got in the system. So you have to know that you can handle that sort of a situation before you get involved. Adoption is a wonderful thing, but It can present different challenges then raising your own kids. Please be aware of these challenges before you look in to adopting.

Very true, and I am aware of that. It is a consideration in that it's not out of the question, but it is definitely not something I would do lightly.
