Blue, you're a wonder. That boy has lucked out in so many ways.
Like Mons said, love love, love.
Discipline will come out of love.
Boundaries come out of love.
Respect comes out of love.
I really admire what you are doing.
And you're never too old.
(well, I am, but only in the sense of life-situation vs fertility)
Twenty-something parents still feel overwhelmed, so forget youthful energy!
They don't have the benefits of life experience that you do (and are more likely - statistically - to divorce)
Not knocking young parents. Just pointing out it's hard at any age.
Older parents (ie older than Mum who gave birth to me at 28) are far more common now. And my Dad is still active at 70. Like you say, the boy had a grim future ahead of him, if you get to adopt then he so doesn't have that now.
Celebs father babies into their senile years!
You are not disadvantaging him, and love has no age limit.
