I only recently began to ask people who tell me they are interested in adoption to explain what is motivating them. If a couple is childless and looking to "grow their family," through adoption, then adoption can look very very different from those families that choose adoption to grow an already existing family even more, which might look different than a family or person who is adopting because it is a calling on their lives. Of course, you "grow your family" in each case, but the motives and outlook are usually quite different. None of the motives is "wrong," but it really helps to understand your goals and views before you engage in the adoption process for older kids.
