[quote=Anonymous]I adopted my daughter internationally 20years ago when I too was 37.  I have loved every minute of it.  I made about the same as OP (adjusted).  I started planning at 30.  I worked 2 jobs and the 2nd job paid cash. Plus,  I always had a housemate and she paid me cash too.  I had this  money stashed away, so I never worried about finances.

My parents were skeptical but the first time they met their granddaughter they loved her.  My mom actually cried. My dad secretly gave me two thousand dollars;i guess that was  his version of crying.

My baby girl and I have lived a middle/middle class life (I'm a  teacher) and my friends and family and coworkers and neighbors seemed to want to give me anything I needed (lightly used, of course.)

I will inherit a small amount from my parents, plus I have my teachers retirement.  I  have never felt real stress like others talk about on this forum.

I would encourage anyone considering single mom-hood  ( I joined SCBC early on) to focus on extra-income measures asap. That has made all the difference in my comfort level.  [/quote]
