[QUOTE="buddy, post: 467314, member: 12886"] In the USA, the age of adoptive parents depends on the type of adoption, the agency and the country you adopt from. Some say there can't be more than a 40 year gap in age etc. so a 45 year old could adopt a 5 year old. It just depends. if it is a family-relative adoption different rules. Lots of people adopt over 40 and they even adopt babies. They can be married single or living with a partner. AGain, depending on the agency and country. Many spend most of their 30s doing fertility treatments. I never even considered pregnancy, just wanted to adopt. In foster care system even broader guidelines, over 40, lower income-you have to show you can care for the child but dont need to be wealthy or OWN your home etc...., single, same sex couples, transracial adoption, etc. not aproblem....assistance is provided to help kids get into homes (not enough that it i worth adopting a child for the MONEY! obviously you spend much more on a child with more needs so it is enough to help offset those costs and is negotiated based on their needs...medical care and small stipend for some. Go on everyone...you want another difficult child right? DO IT! smile [/QUOTE]
