[creatively]

Thanks, everyone, for taking the time to respond to my post last weekend. I really appreciate the support and information. It was also good to hear that my husband and I are "not that old" for prospective adoptive parents. I had been concerned that my age in particular (41) might be an issue, but the consensus seems to be that we are in the "middle range."

You've given us some things to think about and also raised a couple new questions (which I will post in new threads).

Thanks so much!
