Adoption is a possibility that I have considered, though I have not decided whether I want kids yet. If I adopted, I would choose an older child, probably older than 5 because then I wouldn't have to potty train

.
Another thing that I have considered, for down the line, is possibly being a foster parent. At that point, I would probably want to be a foster parent to children older than 12.
If I ever did adopt, I would adopt from within the country, because there are lots of children here who need homes too.
