I have 2 bio children 18 & 16. My dh and I are adopting my nephew. He is only 6 months old and has been with us since he was 4.5 months. The situation presented itself to us and we decided to go with it. Not everyone understood. And because he was drug exposed some were downright negative about it. But he is here with us and we wouldn't change a thing. We`have talked about adopting again and get commets like "If your gonna fill your house with kids they should atleast be your own." I had a tubal and we could try I suppose but I am just not intrested in spending that kind of money when I could adopt a child that needed a home and parents whom loved them. Being older too makes a big difference (me 38 dh 42). I find we have MUCH more patience now then we did when we were younger. We get commets to like how noble we are and how lucky he is to have us, but I let them know quickly we are the lucky ones and he is simply a gift for God as far as we are concerned.

Good luck
