There are some issues about being the only child adopted among several birth siblings, but this is not the largest hurdle. You need to do lots of reading before making this deicsion. I recommend at least four books to begin: Lois Gilman's The Adoption Resource Book Claudia Jewett Jarrett's Adopting the Older Child and her other book HElping Children Cope with Separation and Loss Anne Babb and Rita Laws' Adopting and Advocating for the Special Needs Child
Also go to the Perspectives Press articles index (www.perspectivespress.com/ourfactsheets.html) and read the articles there by Vera Fahlberg and Mary Hopkins-Best Pat Johnston Perspectives Press http://www.perspectivespress.com
