[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just gave birth at 47 so you are not too old. And it is great being a parent! That being said adoption is hard. Agencies have age cut offs and some limit single parents. There are not many babies available. And it can take a lot of time. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/10/adopt-baby-cost-process-hard/620258/ I personally felt that baby adoption was too fraught with potential unethical situations and did not feel equipped or like I would be the best parent of an older child who had gone through developmental trauma (definitely felt I needed a partner to be up for that.). Age is the least of the barriers :). (My grandmother also gave birth at 47 (her 3rd) and my aunts adopted a toddler in their early fifties.) [/quote] Wow! Natural or assisted fertility?[/quote]
