The myth that people don't want to adopt is a myth. But people naturally want infants. It's very difficult to adopt a child that already has emotional scars, not every one can do it.

It's very true most want infants. Our boys were 7-months-old and 5-years-old when they came to live with us. The bond between us and the 7-month-old (now 2 1/2-years-old) is very strong. The bond between us and the 5-year-old (now 7-years-old) is still in its infancy but growing. His emotional scars are very deep and it hasn't always been easy. Because of everything we've gone through, we have requested the next adopted child (a girl) to be from birth to 1-year-old.

Indeed, most want infants for good reason, but they keep getting aborted.

Bless you and your wife for adopting children! I just wish women who didn't want their babies would save their lives and give them to loving parents.
