DH was 44 and I was 45 when we started the paperwork to adopt our dd. We're not 46 and 47 and in the process of adopting another infant. Both our adoptions are international, but we also looked into adopting an AA or biracial infant domestically. Our ages would not have been a factor at all.
As far as the amount of time you've been married, while there are certainly country requirements when adopting internationally, there are also agency requirements. Even if one agency says you can't adopt because you haven't been married long enough, it doesn't mean that is going to be the case with another agency.
Adoption takes a lot of research, but don't give up hope. There are a lot of infants with older parents and parents who haven't been married long. It can happen for you too.
