Wow and I was starting to think my wife and I were the only ones doing this at our age. I am 40 my wife is 43 and we have adopted a 18 month old and his little sister who is 10 weeks old has been with us for 3 weeks now and will be adopted once she is free to adopt. It was much easier physically at 20 when our daughter was born but it is definitely easier mentally now. Our daughter only concern has been that if she decides to have a child soon (we are encouraging her to wait) her child will only be a few yrs younger than it's uncle. it was tough on us at first but to be honest it was the best possible thing for our marriage as well as for us. We are much better now at working together than we ever were in the past 20 yrs. She can start cooking and if she heads off to take care of one of the kids I can take over and you would never know I had no clue what she was cooking. it has been the best experience of our lives
