I was 38, and my husband was 39 when met our daughter for the first time.

Our daughter was 10 days old when we hopped on the place to go home.

She will be 2 in December.

I am going to be 40 October 11th. My husband turned 41 in July.

Our daughter was born in Sacramento, CA.

We live in S. Florida.

Dee still lives in Sacramento, CA.

I was 36 and my husband was 45 when we adopted our son. He also has two children from a first marriage who were 22 and 18 at the time.

Our son was 10 month, one week old when we adopted him. He is going to 16 in less than 2 weeks.

I am now 51 and my hubby just had his 60th birthday (and is a grandfather of two).

We live in NJ, where I have always lived.

Our adoption is closed and I have no idea where either of my son's birthparents live.

Bug I was 6 weeks shy of 36. For Roo, I just turned 38. (DH turned 50 5 months after Bug was born, and 52 a couple months after Roo)

Both our children came to our homes as newborns.

Bug is 2 1/2. Roo is 3 months.

I am 38.

Our kids were born in two different cities in Alberta, the same province where we live. Bug's first mom lives in the same city where we just moved, and Roo's first mom lives in the same city where Roo was born, about 5 hours away.
