China STATES that married couples 50-54 must be "open" to a child over three.
But this does NOT mean that a couple will get a child over age three. There are relatively few preschoolers among the CCAA's child dossiers, because many orphanages don't send dossiers of children this age, thinking that foreigners won't adopt them.
As a result, quite a lot of older couples have received children in the 13 mo. to 3 year age bracket, and quite a few of the children have been under two.
Unfortunately, some agencies won't accept couples who are 50+, unless they want preschoolers or school aged children. However, most agencies with China programs will accept older couples, as long as they understand that China may or may not refer them a child under age two.
