I was an adopted child myself. I was adopted when I was born, and proud of that fact.
If I were not able to have a child naturally, though I hope to, then I would certainly look into adoption. If i'm unsuccessful here, I'll try overseas, like others that I've known. I also agree there are too many older children in the system. Having said that I dont know that I myself would adopt an older child, but I have always had the desire to be a foster parent to an older child--who knows, I may end up adopting the child that I foster
