I think if we weren't hoping to raise some of the money then our reactions would be "none of your business" too. But when you're asking for money, I think openness is good. Plus I'm not really a "none of your business" kind of person. I'm nosy so I can't fault anyone else for being so!
I didn't mean to imply that there's something wrong with having kids in your 30s - or even your 40s. These days that's almost more common than having kids in your 20s. It's just since we got married young we don't want to be celebrating our 10-year anniversary before we even have a kid. I have an aunt though who didn't get married till her 40s and then had a kid when she was like 45. And my in-laws had my youngest SIL when my MIL was just a bit younger than 40 too. It can be done - it's just not what we want to do.
And for the record, I think a child adopted by a single parent is a heck of a lot better than a child not being adopted. Having one parent and a loving home is vastly superior than having no parents and no human to love you.
