[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do NOT wait. I had a baby at 39 and it’s exhausting and I’m now 44 and haven’t been able to have a second.  I think it’s fine to want a man who makes a good income but setting a hard line at 150k is weird.  The bigger issue is your weight.  You are going to have a very hard time meeting someone as a size 16.  Also are you pursuing adoption through foster care? Are you prepared for a child who will have high needs due to neglect or abuse? A child of a different race? If you want a healthy white infant assume you will be spending closer to 65k. Single and overweight isn’t going to make you a popular candidate to a lot of birth mothers so you will a national search.   Cheaper and easier to get a sperm donation and try through IUI or IVF.

Myth.

The birth mother of my kid was 40.  The birth father was 46.  Healthy white Caucasian newborn.

Look to the southern states.[/quote]

This was t about the birth mother it’s about the adopting parent.  It’s not a myth at all that adopting a healthy white infant is challenging and expensive. And with so many open adoptions  it’s even more challenging. If I was giving up an infant my
Preference would be to a two parent household. [/quote]
