The social worker at our adoption agency told me that when she herself was trying to adopt as a single woman 20 years ago that the agency kept telling her that most birthmoms wouldn't consider a single mom and that she was probably wasting her time. She told them that she didn't need most birthmoms to pick her, just one birthmom. I think that's the attitude you should go into it with-some expectant moms may be turned away by your ages or how many kids you have, but one probably won't be, and that's the one who would chose you. Good luck!
