Haha thanks! I love it :P

Agencies have to be very careful about choosing a family for a child. i have known people that adopted children with emotional damage and they couldn't handle so they sent them back on an airplane. That destroys these children. So yes, most of the time families with more adopted children are going to be put at the top of the list because generally they're more reliable and they can fully comprehend the risk they are taking with accepting these children into their home.

The problem is, is that it's hard to start adoptions and it's really expensive, whereas if you already have your homestudy done and are prepared to adopt a kid you will be put at the top of the list. My family was getting ready to adopt our first child from Ukraine and it was going to take about a year for all the paperwork and homestudies to be completed. Not to mention the $25,000 dollars. Another family was already going to the same orphanage to adopt another child and the agency declined our request and accepted the other families request for a second child. It only costs $5,000 more to adopt a second child rather than $25,000 for one. Another thing, it is REALLY hard to acclimate to an adopted child. Everyone sees the posters and pictures of happy families smiling, but it causes serious emotional stress and hurt. Most of the children who grew up in orphanages or foster care have suffered from abuse and have serious issues.

i CARE BECAUSE I HAVE ONE TOO

If you look close you can see the tape, it's on the long way and sort of clear. My sis had one, she was six

haha it's a nose tube, some kids can't or won't eat so they have a tube that goes to the stomach through the nose. That way they can give the kids the nutrients they need
