The "door of opportunity closing rapidly" in the upper thirties suggests she's worried she won't be able to afford kids before she'd have trouble with pregnancy.

Which, yeah, adoption or fostering could address part of that - but some people also want to experience the biological part of that process, and it sucks when they don't really get that choice

It's both. Whether making a baby the old fashioned way or adopting, there's an upper age limit to when most people would prefer to have kids. I might have the money and space to adopt by the time I'm 50, but I don't want to be nearing 70 when my kid graduates high school.
