I am right there with you. If it is any comfort, both of the young women who placed with us were actually looking for aparents who already had two or three children, and they talked to us to make sure we were planning on more...

I am concerned about the age thing, too. I am almost 38, have adopted two children, and now am not-so-patiently awaiting/prayong for our third child. 38 is a fine age to become a mom. But to a teenager or young 20-something, it may seem old, especially when there are SO MANY other beautiful, fun, nice, happy YOUNGER couples who are also waiting to adopt. How will our next child's birthmother find us?? I don't know. I only hope, and have faith that these feelings and promtings to get ready came from the same source that can lead her to us. Maybe we will have to be content with two. But I do't want to. I always wanted 5. But I always thought I could be content with 3. I still think that...

I realize I may be of no help to you, but will be checking back to see what others have to say. It might be interesting to pot this in the birthmother's forum... WE all may think it's a perfectly fine age, but they have better insight into the mind and thinking of a prospective birthmother.
