Age at Adoption
13, days before aging out

Special Need spina bifida

Experience in China We adopted our daughter just days before her 14th birthday! She is older than our bio children and has spina bifida. China is not wheelchair friendly at all!! I fell in love with China, the people and left a part of my heart there.

Experience once home Spina Bifida is a very manageable SN. The first six months was especially busy, playing catch up from 14 years. We have had tough stuff, lots of laughs and prayers and have been BLESSED beyond our wildest imagination!

Advice Treat your child like the age that they act (this may change moment to moment) and not the age they are on paper. This may mean rocking a teenager. I love how one adoptive parent described adopted teens “infanteen”. contact me through my blog I would love to see more of these kids come home.
