1. Why do we want to adopt? Simply- we want to expand our family. We want a daughter. We want to save a child.
2. Why international? Mainly because orphans in other countries are not in foster homes with access to medical care like here in America.
3. Why China? Several reasons. China has a very stable adoption program. China has a lot of orphans. The travel requirements to China are not as long as they are to some other countries. We have ties to people who have Asian heritages- so our daughter will know people with her same heritage. It is such a blessing to live in a multicultural area!
4. Why an older child? We knew that we would have to keep Noah as our oldest, but Aiden will not care about adding an older sibling. There is a greater need for older child adoptions.
5. What will you name her? We have a list going!! We are taking suggestions. We will wait to name her until we know her age and her Chinese name because we may use it somehow.
Let me know any other questions- and I will do my best to answer them!! Name suggestions and adoption advice is welcome!!!
