[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 47, if I didn’t have kids and wanted them, at this age I’d adopt older kids. It takes a long time but it would be so worth it. I have friends in their early 50s who adopted twins who were 12, 5-6 years ago. The tweens are currently looking at colleges and the family is thriving and so happy they found each other. [/quote] That’s so interesting! Are you in the DC area? I had been given to believe that you age out of eligibility for most adoption agencies at a younger age than when IVF clinics start turning you away.[/quote] There are essentially no older kids available for private adoption by non-relatives. Older kids are either internationally adopted (far rarer than a few decades ago) or adopted from foster care (which ads abuse or neglect to any trauma from adoption itself). Both can be great paths and help kids who need homes, but easy thriving college-bound teens are the exception rather than the rule.[/quote]
