I looked into adoption about a year ago (mind you just over the Net) ... and DP & i are excluded for so many reasons from all the countries i could read about their adoption policies ... for example either we aren't married, or have not lived long enough together in a defacto relationship, or more importantly i am regarded as too old as the cut off line for the Mother's age is 42 at the most , so there goes that as i'm 43 (i didn't realise i was already one foot in the grave)

We would so dearly love another child & a sibling for our almost 3year old DD
