- We are definitely too old....
- I would never adopt
- Adoption is too expensive. If the costs were less, more people might consider adoption as an option.

- Foster families get extra money from the government for doing so.
- It's too expensive to adopt, even in one's own country. If you want to adopt a child from another country, be prepared to take out a loan.
- As long as the original parent can reclaim the child, even if adopted, as if the child i a possession - I will spare myself (and the child) until the courts smarten up.

- Age of the mother
- I am too old
- As i get older and I look back, what my Sister did to us was a horrible thing that should never have happened. I feel one day she will pay dearly for what she done honestly. She had a career as a nurse, so she was able to lie and get away with it. She was fired from many jobs for her poor behavior however, the dhhr never looked at the truth. We still have our paper showing we were approved for two children. My husband is severely ill at this time, in the future, I plan on still looking into adoption.
