Australia really needs to update it's laws on adoption. I think we are the only country that makes it nearly impossible to adopt at all. The current laws are so out of date and you can only start the adoption process through DOCS (in NSW) and we are limited to certain countries as well. Besides being so exxie they place other restrictions on couples as well. DF and I looked into adopting but all the countries Australia have an agreement with said that DF was to old. We are now having our 6th baby. Would have loved to have helped a child from overseas
