Adoption regrets?

Servnjah put it perfectly! I know I was thinking the same thing, but no way it would have come across that clear. You have done a wonderful thing for this little girl. Because you have done so well, I am sure she will thrive in her new home, should you decide not to adopt. (And make some family extremly ecstatic to add her to their family.) There is nothing wrong with wanting time for you and DH right now. Nor is there anything wrong with wanting to adopt her. Either way will work great for you it sounds like. It sounds like age is not a deciding factor for you, but a small factor maybe. My DH is 47 and we are getting ready (hoping anyway) to adopt a 1 year old, so when she is 5, DH will be 51! I don't even want to think about our ages when she graduates high school. :) It's a tough decision, but I think you can rest easy in the fact, that either way you decide, would really be a good decision for both you, DH and the little girl. Good luck!
