I seem to remember reading that Italy has fewer cultural problems adopting older children. Something to do with a existing apprentice system that often ended with the apprentice - not the owners biological children - inheriting the trade? If anyone knows the source of this, I'd be interested in reading more. I know I heard about it at the same time I heard about Canada adopting US children on a regular basis (as do other countries with fewer biases against older child adoptions).
At any rate, it may be as much the availability of older children in Poland, and the US cultural bias towards young infant adoptions.
