Here's a question I've got for you AAP, my sister's thinking of adopting, so we've been talking about this stuff.
1. Do you try to get a baby only? Some kids are pretty screwed up by the time they're older. They need the most help, but can be the most trouble.
2. Do you try to get the same ethnicity as you? It would be easier if you have no preference. I think kids would feel more comfortable looking like the people that raise them.
