rainy- I don't know a specific age which is considered "older". I think any child out of the infancy to toddler stage would be considered "older". Most of these children have been or are in the fostercare system. I guess the risk, more than birthparents getting them back, would be attachment disorders or behavior issues. We have adopted an older child (7 at time of adoption) and we have been so blessed. I believe that many of the porblems associated with older children can be overcome when the child realizes they are in a forever family receiving love and consistent boundaries. Most older children who are available for adoption have already had the biological perents rights terminated or relinquished. An adoption which "fails" most often results because the laws of the state were not followed. Most states have cleaned this system up so there isn't a custody fight after an adoption. I don't know if this has helped any. hope so.
