No way is it too old. I'm 45, single, have two grown children, and I plan on adopting a little one this next year.

It is totally up to HIM. If he really wants to have another child then I see no reason (at least from what little I know) that he should not have another child. My husband is 38 and we are considering having another child in the next 2 years. There are men becoming fathers that are much older than 40-so I see no reason that age should be a factor. There are other non age related issues to be addressed when considering having a child-but you only asked about him becoming a father at the age of 40. Best of luck!

No, i think 40 is a fine age to become a father again. My kids are all over 40 now and only 1 is a father. The others wanted to wait and probably will become fathers when their wives say OK .

No. I have a friend who married a man 11 years ago when she was 25 and he was 55. They now have 2 healthy kids ages 10 and 6. He has had some health issues in the last 5 years, but if a man wants to have children later in life, he usually can.

Well yes and no
My dad was 44 when he had me. He was/is a great dad and wonderful provider. However i am in my 20's now and i have the very real fear that my dad won't make it till i am 30. Yes he could of had me at 21 and drop dead when i was ten but he is very much up their in age. He is as old as many of my friends grand parents. I worry about him and i feel cheated. Even if he lives to be like 80 he will probbally die long before my friends parents do. Or get sick and i will have to be in my prime taking care of my parents. I choose to have my daughter now because my parents were so old when they had me. Forgoing any health problems or accidents when i am 80 my daughter will be in her 50's and retired or almost reitred and her family will be grown. Not in her early 30's only a few years out of college with small kids and a die dad.

No problem! 40 isn't old! He has experience, is a great father ... the older siblings will deal with the excess energy of a new addition if the father is feeling too tired, but at 40? Come one! 40 is young!
Have that baby!

Not at all - my husband will be pushing 38 when our 2nd is born in November. If we decide to have a 3rd, he will be 40 when he or she is born. He has plenty of energy to play with our 2 and a half year old son right now and is a great dad.

No, thats not too old at all. In fact, being a little older has many advantages - he probably makes more money than a younger man, and is more stable, more patient, and has much more knowledge and experience to draw from.
40 is probably a pretty good age for a man to become a parent.

I am 40 now and I don't think it is too old. My father was 40 when I was born.
