Hello,
Just wanted to say hello to the other "older" parents out there! My dh and I both were over the age of 35 when we adopted our children ages 5 and 4. We feel that being older has it's advantages and disadvantages. Some of the advantages are that we are now financially set to enjoy the children and not have to worry about finances in any way. We have a lot of family values and traditions built that have been in our families and we would like to continue to share these with our children. I am not saying that the younger parents won't but like all things times have changed and many are away from family due to jobs etc. so it's hard to get involved with grandparents etc on the holiday! The traditions can still be set in all though!
I am happy we adopted later in life rather than earlier. But and this is a BIG but, we hope there our energy level stays with us for the duration of childhood
. The younger group .....you have it made!
! So, as you can see being older has it's pro's and cons!
talk to you soon!
