Eleven years ago—it's going to be 11 years shortly since we met our children—I would say it was quite rare to grow your family with three older children, but today, sibling groups are normal, and so are older children.
We have children across Canada, teens, who are really longing for permanency. Sometimes there may even be 18 or 19 years old, but because they're older doesn't mean that the parent who is growing their family doesn't need time in welcoming them. We actually need a lot more time, because they have experienced so many more losses and struggles along the journey before they join us.
