my aunt adopted a little girl from china the proses took 2 years and around 20 thousand dollars the re morgaged there house angela seems to be doing quilt well but she is fairly withdrawn she is the only chinese person in a very exclusive dutch comunity i think that leads to her being somwhat withdrawn. we are happy to have her as paet of our family most of the time dont eaven remember she was adopted but i dont think it has always been easy on her being different from the rest off the community so that is somthing you should keep in mind. also often if a child has been in an orphanage for any period off time there is a chance that they may have been ohysicly or sexualy abused and this could cause problems. i dont whant to discourage you but its better to go into this with your eyes wide open. if this is what God whants for your family he will overcome all the obsticals if you put him in the drivers seat.
