Medical reasons.
However, even if it were not the case, we would still have held off this far (I'm 42, she's 39) because our lives are not in a position to be good parents. We both love kids, but hate to see them stuck with folks who never should have had kids to begin with. I have a brother and sister who both have kids, and they are excellent parents. I have another sister who is childless like we are, even though we would all be great parents, too.
Once our situation changes (probably first of the year), we will look into adoption.
