I just have to share this moment.....Hubby and I are "older" adoptive parents waiting for our daughter from China. DH is 50 and I am 52....and the wait continues to increase. We started the process in June of 2006 and have been officially waiting for 16 months and it looks like we will still be waiting this time next year. So......it is really depressing and we just keep hanging on, knowing that we will hopefully have our daughter one day.Will we be "old"......yes.....but we are not giving up now!So....our Saturday morning routine is to go to McDonald's for breakfast/lunch before heading out to grocery shop. We are ordering our breakfast/lunch when it just hit me.....when we get our daughter we will probably be ordering 3 Happy Meals......one for her and one for each of us....along with our senior coffees!!!!! :coffee: Cause you know....as you get older your appetite shrinks! We laughed and are still laughing about it. But hey...if you can't laugh now who knows what life will bring later.

How true!!!! But I'm gonna hope you have your little one in your arms sooner than that!!!! God Bless you for hanging in there soo long and being strong about it.
As far as age....ahhh well. I remember getting my first 'notice' from AARP. (Dh's birthday is only three days after mine, and we're the same age---both now 51.)
I remember thinking, Wow! Guess we're really OLD now, huh? But hey, you're thinking young, and you both obviously have a lot of patience and vitality. The waiting's the worst part and you're handling it with humor and grace!!!
Keep us posted and we'll all hope for a sooner placement!!!
Most Sincerely,
Linny
