Read every word she wrote twice. You have no idea how life altering adoption can be for everyone. Save yourself a lot of heart ache. I totally agree with LoriA. Read every word she wrote twice.

If you can't raise another child, it's best to put the baby up for adoption. Would your grown daughter want to adopt the baby? All of these people are telling you to get an abortion, but if you would ask anyone that was adopted, they would rather have a life without their biological parents than no life at all. If you need someone to talk to, email me. You are doing the right thing. If you can’t raise another child, it’s best to put the baby up for adoption. Would your grown daughter want to adopt the baby?

Adoption.com is always a good place to start, they have a lot of information. Rainbowkids.com works with plenty of agencies, but is more for adoptive families. SpenceChapin.org is a good site to check out, they have a special needs program, and I know they work with all ages. Your chance of having a baby born with downs is higher but still only 1 in 300. There are actually waiting lists for parents willing to adopt children with downs, so that should not be an issue. As far as all the responses about adoption being a bad choice, I'm sorry that there are horror stories related to adoption. It gives adoptive families a bad stigma sometimes. There are so many loving families out there. Choosing your child's family is a huge decision. If you are listening you will know them when you find them. I can tell you from experience the love a family feels for an adopted child is no different than for a bio child. I will be praying for you.

I would think that some people would actually feel better about your age, since at 36 you are probably more responsible regarding drinking, drugs, etc. Good for you for considering adoption! It's a wonderful to give your baby life, and to give a couple a chance at a child that they probably would not have otherwise.
