I was also physically and emotionally abused as a child and so I have sworn never to become like my parent(s). I cannot physically have children and I have thought about adopting an older child with my partner in my later life. I am extremely worried that I am not potential parenting material or that I could do more harm than good. My questions to you are:

Would any young adult/teenager be willing to try and live with an adult who was abused? What would the best way to comfort and live with an older person such as yourself? (I.E. What would you like your adoptive parents to do for you?) What is the young adult population looking for in a parent and how can I best connect with him/her/them?

I wish you the best of luck and health in your new home.
