Many women today have devoted their lives to their careers until suddenly, at 40 or beyond, they desperately want a child. Often it is too late to have children. A large number of men have had vasectomies in previous marriages but find they want children in a second marriage. Adoption is a possibility.

Although there are many children in foster care in the United States, the majority of them are scheduled to be returned to their families of origin. Many of those that are released for adoption have been severely abused and may need ongoing therapy. In Rainbows from Heaven Lynn, a foster parent to over 35 children, shares the story of two girls that she wanted desperately to adopt but could not.

It is difficult for people over 40 to adopt in the United States, but many countries allow adoptions by older parents. To adopt internationally parents will need to prepare a dossier that meets the requirements of the country. Although the requirements vary from country to country it will involve financial and personal information, a homestudy and references. Although individuals can prepare this information an agency can help avoid problems that might result when inexperienced people prepare the dossier.

The attitude toward International Adoption also varies from country to country. Some countries have forbidden International Adoption, viewing it as a brain drain or removal of a valuable resource. Other countries view International Adoption as a solution to a problem their country does not have the resources to deal with. Lynn Doxon, author of Rainbows From Heaven, walks you down the path!
