Younger, older - from my perspective it makes no difference if you can offer a loving, nurturing home and life for a baby. My wife & are are "in our 40's" - ok - we're 43 and 44. We are married just about 2 1/2 years and have been home study approved since early September. Like you adoption is the only way in which we can become parents....nature and science have not been working in our favor

but we're determined to move on and build our family through adoption. We've retained an adoption attorney who is Quad A and has remarkable connections and quite a network throughout the US. We're also actively "advertising" on the net through one of the many site which allows PAPs to post their profiles.
Welcome to the board and welcome to the sometimes exhausting world of adoption. It's going to be worth every bit of happiness, joy and sadness you'll no doubt experience.
