I was 39 & my husband was 43 when we adopted our 2nd daughter (she was 3 weeks). I can't tell you how many people have assumed I was her grandmother!!! You should see the look on their faces when I tell them I'm her mother! Plus my baby is biracial!! I just love seeing the confused looks!!
My back hurts, my ARMS hurt because she wants to be held all the time...I have less energy!!
I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world though!!
