We're having no luck getting pregnant with a 2nd child. DS is a toddler and I'd love him to have a sibling.
For the first time tonight I've wondered about adoption. I always said no and I don't really know why.
The first problem is our ages. DH and I are well into our 40s. Are we too old?
We have room for anther child in the house. They'd have their own room.
We both work though. I work part time and at home so school runs wouldn't be an issue with an older child. I also have a very flexible job so I hope that would help. Financially I do have to work and DS is in nursery 2 days a week.
Would an adopted child be able to go to nursery too? Or would I be expected not to work? I would make use of adoption leave to help with settling in
Any advice would be appreciated, or links to resources
