If you had to adopt with these two as your only choices, would you adopt a toddler or an early to mid teenager?

I'd go for the teenager because first of all, everyone seems to adopt babies anyway. Also, teenagers go through a lot of emotional changes and they want to do more things, and while orphans don't have that type of exposer, I think it's more important to adopt a lonely teenager that wants to experience what other teens out there do with a new loving family to help them out. But that's just my opinion.

A toddler. Young kids bond better with parents. You'll watch them grow and actively learn a lot about them, since they have a very short past anyway. Plus at 26 I don't think I'm mature enough to handle raising a teenager. I doubt they'll take me seriously as a parent because the age difference is not enough.
