over 45

You are definately not too old to adopt. But, here is a thught - have you considered adopting an "older child"? I was 40 when I gave birth to our one and only biological child. We finalized the adoption of our 6 year old son a month before I turned 50. Now I am just a month and a half away from turning 51, and a few weeks away from finalizing adoption of our 10 year old foster daughter. I am a bit older than the parents of most of my children's classmates (okay, I admit, I am older than some of their grandparents), but I have managed to keep up with every single one of them. Being an older parent gives me a different perspective. Also, since we didn't start a family till later in life my husband and I are financially secure. Whether you decide to go domestic or international, infant or older, do not let age be a factor in your decision. You obviously are a woman of faith - so move forward in faith!
