We adopted without any fertility problems. Some agencies wouldn't take us because we were not infertile. Some wouldn't because of our age. We found a really great agency that didn't have a problem with either. (We're just 25 and 26). We had our placement within 1 month of completion of our homestudy. We adopted our daughter at age 7.
We have had a little bit of a hard time with people asking us about presumed fertility problems (I wouldn't dream to assume/presume or ask someone about their fertility or reproductive habits--I'm shocked at how many people have felt entitled to ask me).
We had no difficulties at all with our agency because of our age or lack of infertility. They recognize "feeling called to adopt" as a legitimate motivation to adopt.
I hope that's helpful,
JW
