How old is to old to adopt?!?

i don't think it would be fare to the child if they where say 3 yrs old and their mom was 60... by the time the kids graduates mom will have been long gone... i agree that older people should be able to adopt older kids... it just really seems to make sense

my mother was 56 when she adopted her boys (from Haiti, the age limit they had was 56 at the time). that was two years ago. she is now 58 and her boys are 15 and 13. i know with her they would only allow the adoption of older children (which was what she wanted) since she was older herself. i am not sure about other countries. some countries have weight limits too... my sister was unable to adopt from china because she is obese... she adopted two girls from Haiti instead, also over two years ago

No, i think thats fab what your dads doing, the children will benefitt LOTS which is so sweet, maybe he can adopt 2 siblings so they're together, whos parents have been killed either from the Haiti earthquake or from maleria...africa, or india

i think that is great for him want to do that. adoption is a long process and they make it so difficult for a family to adopt with so many rules to be elagable when anyone can get pregnant and have a baby so i dont get why they make it so hard to adopt when there are so many wonderful people like your father that want to take in children that have nothing. try calling an adoption agency and unless the child was already a orphen i think there is the debate going on that the kids shouldnt be adopted yet because if the parents were to come up after missing there would then be problems good luck on everything

It varies by the state, but most adopting parents are between the ages of 25 and 40. Each adoption agency will have there own gide lies, but age is only part of the equation. The health of the people looking to adopt play a bigger role then age.

To adopt in Haiti, couples should be between the ages of 25-50. This is a law. Check into adoptions within your own state/country, then maybe Africa and poverty-stricken Caribbean islands/Latin America. (Peru, Honduras, Jamaica, Venezuela, Costa Rica, etc.).
