Your questions about adoption

My wife and I are both 49 and were approved to adopt two years ago we have shown an interest in 10 children without success. Are we too old?

  1. At 49 social workers would probably expect you to take on an older child but if you have been waiting years like us it is very cruel to not let you adopt a younger child.”

  2. You are not too old to adopt but you might be looking at the wrong age of child. Ask your adoption support worker for advice on why you seem to be not getting picked.”
