Wishing you luck on your journey.

I may be out of line here - but according to your signature you aren't too old at all for intercountry adoption. It is usually taken on the prospective mother's age and so long as that is under 45 there are still several options available. I realise that there may be other factors which affect your ability to adopt but age isn't one for you just yet. I have a friend who recently adopted a beautiful little girl from Ethopia and while the process did take about 2 1/2 years she is the most gorgeous little girl - she was just on two when she arrived and they are both in their early 40s.
