[quote=Anonymous]I adopted as a single mom at 40.  International adoption.  Tougher age restrictions were already in place/coming into place.  So glad I did it i.  I received my daughter in my arms when she was 7 months old.  She is now 18.

My daughter and i read this board together and she believes  (as do I) that a lot of these anti-adoption posts are written by the same person. My baby girl and I bonded immediately as did all the kids who were adopted in my Single Moms by Choice group that has spanned 2 decades.  Several of us traveled together to adopt  our kids. We are all still close friends.

I make/ made nowhere near the money a pp said was needed.  In fact, I have never made 100K a year.  What a ridiculous thing to say.

During the school years we always applied for financial assistance wherever it was needed for school trips, music rentals, etc.  Montgomery County is  a very generous county and one of the reasons I stayed here to raise my daughter. We never went without a single thing. I am still laughing at that 170K figure.
