We found out that to adopt from India you have to be 30.
We are not 30.
Somehow the information I found on the internet is different from what is in the paperwork.
But a positive thing is that originally we thought we could only have 2 kids already in the house, but in the paperwork it says that we can have 3 kids in the home.
So...
We have a little under 4 years until we will both be old enough. We want 5 kids and we wanted them close together. This puts a pretty big hurdle in our plans.
We will (hopefully) have one more kid in the next few years and then still plan on adopting from India as soon as Justin turns 30(he's younger than me). Then we will get pregnant as soon as we get our little girl from India. Then our family will be complete. :)
I am almost ready to be pregnant again. (I know. I think I have something wrong with me. I could be the crazy lady that just keeps having babies!) We will probably wait awhile though so we don't have a gap between this next one and our little one from India.
That is my update. A bunch of people have asked so I hope that all made sense to everyone. I am pretty frustrated about it. It is horrible to me that there are so many little kids in orphanages in India. I consider us to be good and loving parents. We are a stable family. And we would love to bring a little girl into our family, but because we aren't 30 we can't.

I'm sorry the age rule puts a kink in your plans.
What about adopting from the states? do the same age rule apply? because there are lots of kids that need homes here in the states.
