In July of 2011, I traveled half-way across the world to adopt a teenager. She instantly became the oldest of our 7 children. We were terrified---yet committed----to the unknowns of adopting a teenager out-of-birth-order. I write about some of our life here on my blog, but I also welcome private emails at primrose_sb@yahoo.com if you are needing input into life with an adopted teenager.
Interested in adopting an older child? Already committed to bringing one home? Curious as to how the adjustments to a new language, culture, and family have worked in out in our home?
