I can relate to your post. My DH and I are also in our early 40's, have two bio sons and I would really like to have a daughter too. How old are your sons? Mine are 7 1/2 and 4 (5 in a couple of months). I really wanted to adopt straight out but my DH has been saying "foster adopt" every since I expressed a desire for a third child. We can't really afford all the money for adoption (at least, I don't want to go into debt for all the adoption fees anyway) although we can provide for another child. I can't get pregnant any more but don't feel my family is complete. I am nervous too, but I feel driven towards this even with the risks. PM me if you like, we seem to be in the same boat!
