    Wow.. WHO CARES that such a child is
    is older??? Isnt the fact that the
    kid has no parrent who wants her
    or him enough reason to let the
    child have a chance for some
    loving family to adopt?? Is it a
    crime that a parent just wasnt
    born with or taught skills in
    parenting? DONT CHANGE THIS LAW!
    In fact, it should be world-wide!
    As an adopted person, i know about
    this stuff....
