[QUOTE="Malika, post: 467286, member: 11227"] Ha! Everyone who has responded to this poll so far was born in the 1960s, which is rather nice and cosy, I think... :) Age... rather a red herring. Experiences count more. I think Insane was surprised because I have a small son (not, I hope, by the crass immaturity of my posts...) and this also leads to an interesting cultural difference to do with adoption. In North America, she tells me, people are not allowed to adopt over 40 and tend to be nearer 30... I don't really know about the adoption statistics in the UK though I know there is a maximum age gap between child and parent of 45 years, therefore reproducing nature more or less. When I adopted in Morocco, EVERYONE, westerner and Moroccan, was older like me - basically because we had tried to have our own children and couldn't. So I in my turn was surprised that younger people adopt. There you go - everyone is surprised :) [/QUOTE]
