Oh my, Mom's really don't pull any punches do they?
We just adopted our youngest when he was 11 months old and we were 42 and 48. We had adopted before at 32 and 38. It has been 10 years and everything is great. Our oldest will be 18 in 6 more years and we have been very active and able to parent him in every way. He just recently (within the past 2 years) became able to outrun me.
I never even considered my age a factor until the third adoption and I just put it down anyway and it was fine with everyone. In truth we are better parents this last time parenting. We are much less worried about anything and things just seem to flow along rather smoothly. Just remember age is your Mom's concern not yours.
