Default Should I try to get pregnant or adopt?

**Not sure where else this would fit in the forum, so I hope you will still read it and answer if you wish.**

I have two children ages 11 and 13. I am considering maybe one more, but I'm still up in the air about what to do. I am almost 40 and I am not sure I want to start over with a newborn, nor am I sure how my body would handle it at this age.

There are many older kids in need of adoption, but this is all a new idea to me, and I am in need of any advice you can offer.

Thanks!

I am about 7w3d preggo, and i have been really sick! I cry all the time, and i tell you this, I am never going to do it again! I would rather adopt. I know it is just being sick right now and i will change my mind once i start to feel better, but that is how i feel right now.
I am turning 29 this year and we have to get an IUI, so I don't see another in my future, I was thinking of adopting when my children were older so they understand that the child may need more attention then them. They could also help, being older. When they are young they don't understand why mom and dad are spending so much time with the adopted child and would grow up disliking that child. When face it is the last thing we what to do.

good luck i hope you pick the right choice for you and you family!
