Hi,
You will definately have lots of pros and cons on both sides. We went domestically for several reasons. One of which we were not able to do travel trips pryor to adopting because of work. Another being we wanted and infant and most countries do not finish what they need to do to adopt their babies it seems until they are older. Our wait time from chosing our facilitator and signing and being chosen and our baby being born was only about 7 months. Our daughter is hispanic/cc and we are cc. We didn't care what nationality or gender which makes your wait time generally less. Yes there are some failed matches but from what I read on these boards it does happen internationally too but more so from things like DNA not matching or not being able to locate a bmom later in the process for one reason or another. There are ups and downs during either process it just depends on you as to what your limitations are. Good luck in your journey.
As for age. My husband was 39 when we started this process and I was 38. My daughter was born shy of my 39th b-day. So, you are still young and agencies have different requirements and just look for the one that best suits you.
