My question is mainly, do you think that 38 is too old to be chosen by a birthmother? The reason I ask, when we were matched with the birthmother that was due in August, we met her, it was great, but almost as an after thought, we were starting to walk away when she said "You look so young!". That was it. She made the plan for us to come and be at the hospital and everything and then she never called the caseworker when she gave birth and decided to parent her baby. I know it sounds crazy, but I told my husband that day that I felt she must have thought I was going to be ancient looking or something. I mean, when I was 24, I guess 38 seemed old. What do you think? I am so sorry for the ramblings, I am just ready to give up but ...I'm not![/quote]
Hang in there hon! I was 37 when my daughter's bmom chose us (and 38 when she was born). Plus we already had a bio son and Jewish. Our daughter's bmom is six years younger than me and definetly not Jewish. lol.
In all honesty, I think it's such a personal choice for the expectant mom. Fortunately Dee (bmom) was open minded and just wanted a family that would provide tons of love to her unborn child. Plus she liked the fact we had a child already.
