Since you are "threadless" - I will have to post to you on my thread.
I read that you W was expecting. Congratulations!
Most of my good friends - male and female are "geriatric" parents - as in having kids when they are over 40. I myself will probably be close to my mid-40's by the time the adoption process is complete.
The nice thing about being a "geriatric parent" is that your life is more settled - money is usually no longer an issue - and you have more time for your kids.
