how much older do you have to be than the child to adopt through the state?
Does anyone know? I'm 27 and DH is 25 so obviously we're pretty young. I'd assume they wouldn't let us adopt a child older than about 10, if that, but I'd sure like to know if that's wrong, because there are a bunch of children on adoptuskids that we'd be interested in submitting an inquiry on.

Also, does anyone know if it's possible to pursue a private agency adoption *and* a state adoption at the same time?
