My wife and I want to adopt siblings - like the 5 children in Kentucky that we saw on adoption.com. My wife and I are in very good health even though she is 55 and I am 52. i know there is an age maximum of about 40. But we are both retired teachers - and we continue to work part-time in a second career where we have free reign when we want to work. Would a state - like Kentucky - work with us regarding our ages since we would consider siblings.....like the 5 I mentioned? Thank you!
not sure where you saw the maximum age. I'm 43; DH is 45 and we're just now adopting a child.

We adopted two siblings from foster care when we were age 53, fostered them for two years before that. No problem here in PA. They were 1 and almost 3 when we got them as emergency foster placements, 3 and almost 5 at adoption. I'm now 55 and have plenty of energy for them. I keep reminding my 7 yr old that I can still outrun and outswim him!! Good luck.
