I would be interested in adopting ONLY if I get married. I was not emotionally close to my Dad, but I believe in the value of fathers in a child's life.
Adoption would work well for me going forward if I marry. I turn 40 later this year and probably am a reproductive risk. No, I don't want to take fertility drugs because of the probability of multiple births and it's very expensive to raise a child.
If I do get married, I want a girl and would much prefer that she's 3 years of age or younger. Then again, the now non-existent husbandperson may want a boy. So we may have to get two kids.
