Not true. My uncle was 55 when they adopted my cousin (although my aunt was 40 so maybe having a younger spouse makes a difference and you just mean a single older person).

Your aunt being 40 probably helped. Also, I think it depends on how old the child is (e.g. older people can probably adopt older children or teens out of foster care more easily than they can adopt babies) and how the adoption is arranged. Adoption agencies (including foreign ones) probably won't consider singles/couples in their 50s as prospective parents for a baby, but if its a private adoption arranged directly with the birth mother then it's at the birth mother's discretion. I don't think Will would be able to go to China or Russia or wherever and successfully adopt a baby through an agency (older child, maybe), but he could try to find a pregnant woman looking to adopt and work with her directly. Such women aren't very thick on the ground these days, however, given decreasing stigma surrounding single motherhood and other factors. I was reading an article not long ago about how couples looking to get adopt sometimes get catfished when they try to seek interested birth mothers via social media. In the US, there are simply more people looking to adopt newborns than there are adoptable babies in the pipeline. In that environment, a single person in their 50s probably isn't going to fare very well against couples in their 30s, who might be just as stable and financially secure as the 50-something person. Of course, nothing is stopping Will from skipping the baby stage and seeking to adopt an older child, but I haven't been watching the revival so I don't know if Will has expressed a desire for a baby specifically.
