As regarding length of marriage, there ARE a very few agencies that don't have any requirement for a domestic adoption. I believe that ALL international require at least one year of marriage, but many require two or more. Ethiopia requires one year, and they are usually flexible with age, also.

My DH and I just brought home our newest baby girl, and I am 47, DH is 44. We adopted her domestically. Our other two children are from Guatemala and Korea. We were going to adopt internationally (Vietnam fell thru for us), but our choices were very limited due to our ages. We decided to try domestic, being open to race, and we had our 3 day old baby in our arms in less than 3 months.

Good luck!
