I wish you the very best in your search for a little one! God bless!

I was nearly floored when I learned from the admin assistant at our local domestic adoption agency (a non-profit which handles children in State care) that even at our age we could be considered quite seriously for a child well under 10 years old, even though my husband says he only wants Caucasian (I could adopt any race). I got the distinct impression that she was talking about age 5 at least.

This makes me both happy and more nervous (happily nervous).

We are in good health and are of modest means but secure and very well educated and have a strong family "back up".

Thanks, again!
