I am a young mommy. (Thanks Marjorie for the compliment) My DH and I are 28 and in the process of adopting our third little one. We will have a 3,2, and 1 year old. We do get stares at times and I imagine it will only get worse when the third arrives home. Most of the time people wonder why I did not have any of my own and also have the nerve to ask how I can afford it. It is frustrating but this is the path God chose for me and I am completely happy.
It seems most people tend to be in their 30's or 40's when they adopt. We were defiinitely the youngest in are adoption class. When I talk to others alot of them went through years of infertility before making the decision to adopt or they are in their second marriage. I posted this question awhile back and was surprised at the amount of younger adoptive parents there are. There are times I feel alone in all of it but I have great friends who adopted that are not my age.
Blessings,
Anne
