Need information on adopting a 16 yr old from india....?

Question

would appreciete some feedback...

Answer 1

Well, we would need to know what it is that you want to know....

Is it possible?  Yes

Is it difficult?  Probably

Is it hard for the child?  Probably

Is it expensive?  Probably $15,000+

Will you be closely supervised to make sure you are a totally appropriate parent?  Yes, for years

Will the child have special needs?  Yes, how could a child at that age not have special needs after all that he or she has been through.  

Does it take some special qualification to adopt a teenager?  Yes, it does.  Lots of patience, training, commitment, and willingness to take the child to therapy, continue with their culturally and language exposure, networking with other parents who adopted from India, reflecting Indian culture in your h ome, family, etc.

That's it in a nutshell.  But if I only knew what you were asking.....

Answer 2

I agree with previous answerer-feedback on what. Adopting a 16 year old is going to be extremely difficult. Language for instance is a huge barrier at that age and much harder for the child to assimilate into this culture.

Answer 3

16 is alittle old chester the molester
