[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm adopted and this seems selfish to me. You're setting up a child to live their entire adult life without a parent...[/quote] Not OP, but I was born when my dad was 46 and he just died at age 95. Sometimes older parents live longer. We decided not to adopt in our 40s for two reasons: we didn't want to go through the rejections for being "too old" and I am old enough to know many adoptees who didn't really bond with their adopted parents. I realized I would need to be ok with being a caretaker, not perhaps considered their "real mom" depending on the child. I don't think mid 40s is too old, depending on your health and family longevity.[/quote]
