Some of my female friends were very proudly and loudly part of the child free movement, and then changed their mind in their late 30s. Unfortunately what a lot of people don't seem to realise is that adoption have a very strict age criteria and if you are too old to have children naturally you are usually too old to adopt. So most of these people end up childless.
Then there's also those people who don't change their mind ever. And honestly I think you need to assume that she's one of those, because she's told you she is. If you love her and you trust her then you need to just accept what she says for what it is.
my friends also found out the hard way that they are currently changing it so that yes there is “an age limit”. Pretty much they were constant told there were complications after complications and then one day they were told they would be too old to properly care for the child all the way to age 18 thereofor were not good applicants to adopt a child and would not be allowed to do so. And thats in the USA.. they aren’t even “that old”
Maybe not in the USA? I don't know about over there. In the countries I've lived in it definitely does work that way I'm afraid. My friends found that out the hard way. They would have made great parents too, it's a real shame
My girlfriend doesn't want kids but I do? Can I convince her later?

There's no such thing as too old to adopt. Google it
