Adopting the Waiting Child

I am posting again today because special needs adoption has been on my mind. The wait to adopt a healthy child from China is at 5 years and is predicted to get even longer. Many predict non-special needs adoption from China will eventually cease to exist at all. There are many people who have been waiting years who will likely never meet their child. I know the decision to adopt a waiting child is a personal choice, and many people have good reasons not to, or can't. But I have to wonder if maybe some people don't fully understand how manageable many of these needs are on a daily basis. Many needs don't require further medical treatment. Not to mention the healthy older children available. Also there are more boys available then girls. Very young boys with minor special needs. This video is great at explaining it!
