I wanted to give encouragement to any of those who feel their 'ages' will discourage them from adopting babies.
The answer is a resounding, 'NO!'
I'm evidence of that, believe me. My dh and I have adopted a lot of times and waited for nearly one year this time for our wee one who was born in February. We're still awaiting ICPC, but hoping it won't be too much longer!
We're both 51 and will be 52 this year. We also have a two year old, a five year old and seven year old---all adopted. And, we're also proud parents to two other children now grown and on their own.
It happens. It does. She's laying in my lap at this very moment and she's proof it DOES happen!
Sincerely,
Linny
