[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unusual and not welcome by dcum solution: adopt a 5 yo child at 50yo. A girl, preferably, who has a good attention span and is kind. Ignore her cuteness and race. Girls are great companions in aye 50s -60s for their moms while growing up and even through college. Then you’ll have grand children to visit. A real family.

I’m dating but have myself a deadline : if not partnered by 50 I’ll adopt [/quote]

What a selfish motive but anyway they don’t let 50 yo single women adopt [/quote]

My grandmother adopted some kids when she was older. I think she thought she was helping these orphaned girls. Guess the motive matters.

I don’t think fostering or adopting to have a family or companionship is necessarily wrong. I’m still busy with my own 3 kids but I have mentioned adoption to DH and he said no. If I was a widow one day, I absolutely would foster or adopt.[/quote]

It was customary since Ancient Rome for wealthy women who are windowed or otherwise left unmarried in older age to adopt. Much safer and stable  economically from wealth preservation standpoint than remarrying in older age  [/quote]

How does that preserve wealth? The money goes to the adopted child. [/quote]

It goes to YOUR child no matter adopted or bio. You have many years to raise this child, connect with them, guve a good education and transfer your knowledge and skills. This child will have higher chances of remaining your close relative when you are old, providing social support network. I don’t mean the financial support, I don’t need it.  But with men it’s super flaky, dependent on their whim and availability if their options. Men are poor companions when women are 50-60 and still active. A growing child, even somewhat difficult, is a much better companion. [/quote]
