Are we too old?

KatieKate

I am 41, and my husband is 51.  Are we too old to adopt?  I have a medical issue that can not allow me to carry the baby.  However, I live an active and normal life.  Please give me your thoughts.  TIA

No! An older stable couple can be a blessing. Especially in foster adoption

@KatieKate absolutely not!! my mom has friends who adopted later in life - in their mid 40's for her, early 50's for him.  They adopted an older child, I think he was 12 or 13 at the time.. what a blessing for that boy - he has an amazing life and is so thankful they decided to adopt him   good luck!!!

My friends just finalized a foster to adopt.  In those situations the state picks you out, rather than the birth parent and the welfare agents care if you are fit enough to pass a home inspection and be a good parent.  Age is not a determining factor as such.

Absolutely not! I work within a child welfare agency and it is families like you that help to give a child a wonderful home. Age does not impact that one bit! Good luck!
