I'm new to information seeking about adoption so please be gentle with me, but also frank!
I've been reading conflicting information about adopting babies/infants. I've read somewhere that says there are very few / 'almost no' children under 12 months who need adopting in the UK. Is that true?
The second question is, is there an age limit or preference for age of adoptive parents for newborns/infants?
My husband and I are in our late 30s. He will be 37 and I'll be 38/39 before the ball gets rolling. I read on this forum of a 38 year old woman who said she was too old to be considered for a very young child. Is that also true?
Many thanks for any advice and please excuse my lack of knowledge on this.
