Waiting time after marriage -- before adopting?
We are in our 40s, soon to be married. We recognize and appreciate the need to wait for our marriage to get underway before becoming parents, at the same time, however, we do not want to wait *too long* before "delivery." At our ages, 2 years (which seems like the standard wait time) would mean a greater difference than if we were younger.
Obviously, we need to get through the wedding first before doing much about adoption, but we are still beginning to think about the process -- what agencies might be good to work with (we are strong evangelical Christians) and timelines.
Does anyone know of an agency that might be good for us to work with? A domestic adoption would obviously be more convenient, but we are okay with a child/ren from other countries as well. We are open to chil/ren with special needs -- depending on what those special needs might be.
