Us too...
Hi there! My husband and I are a little older, I'm 27 he's 28. But, we began investigating adoption 2 years ago.
We too were very concerned about our age... We figured you had to be at least 30 to adopt!
Friends have told us that youth might actually swing in your favor, especially if a younger b-mom is looking to place her child. Birth mothers in their teens can find younger couples very desireable. Some younger b-moms do not want to place their children in an environment that would simulate their own (b-mom's parents in their 40's).
Of course, I think this is a misconception... I know 40 year olds who are more active than I am. But, b-moms are sometimes looking to place their child in a family situation that is the polar opposite to their own.
Of course, other b-moms will be attracted to the stability that being older offers. It just depends.
