I'm an Oldie but a Goody as my husband says. I was almost 41 when Cristian was born and he came home 5 months before I turned 42, and I'm loving it!!!

I feel very old. I was 20 when my first dd was born and had 6 children by the time I was 27. My ds and dd adoption was final when I was 46 and my youngest dd adoption was final when I was 48, for a total of 9 children. Now, at 50 we are the fost/adopt placement for our little guy.

I was 25 when I became a grandma (step-grandma but hey.... I've been a grandma to them since our grandson was a year old and our granddaughter was born)
I was 27 when I became a mom for the first time..... 28 with our 2nd, 29 with our 3rd, and 30 with our 4th.... Hopefully... I'll be 35 with 5! (gotta work on dh though!...we wont discuss his age.... )

Hey, Crayolamom, you're not the oldest. I was 56 when I brought DD home. Before that, I was a stepmother at 37.
