What people said, 1999

“You must feel desperate.” “You must feel sorry for them.” “You must feel sorry for yourself.” “You must save them.” “They’re going to have so many more issues than a baby.” “The older they are the more problems you’ll have.” “Are you sure you can handle their history?” “You won’t have control over what they think.” “Do you think they’re even capable of loving you?”
--What people told me and my husband, in 1999, about our plans to adopt two older children
