May I recommend a foster kid, in particular a teenager?
I hear many people trying to adopt a kid want a small child, and very few teenagers get adopted.
I did not discuss this with my wife yet, but I plan to slowly plant her idea in her head over the next few years. Once our kids leave home and we are empty nesters, I think it would be awesome to adopt a foster kid, a teenager, ideally a minority to bring more diversity into our lives and provide love and support to a hard-working kid and help them go through high school and then college. I may not be able to pay them full tuition since I am close to retirement, but I can help somewhat and especially provide a home for them to come home once they go to college.
