We looked into domestic but were told by agencies that we were too old.(I am 44,dh is 45). We could have done an independent adoption through an attorney but we would have to sell ourselves to find a ** that was willing to give a baby to a couple who was older and had 5 bio kids already. Plus the fact that there are so many loopholes in our govt that the child could be taken away from us by **, her parents, paternal father, and his parents, that we didn't want to take the emotional risk. WE really felt led by the Lord to look in another country. Not to mention the fact that we really wanted an infant or under 1 year. Doretta
