I was 33 when Alex was born and 34 when he came home. I think it was about right.

I was 37 when my daughter was born and when she came home. I didn't expect to be this age as a first-time parent, but I think it worked out exactly as it was supposed to!

I had my son at 26 after having finished college and lawschool. Although I worked for a little while, I didn't really get a chance build up a career before he was born (and I'm staying home for now)...so I guess the career will have to wait a bit!!

My bio sons were born when I was nearly 37, 40 and 42 and I am now 45 (when Sayda's adoption was finalized) and you can stick a fork in me because I am DONE!

i was 27 when my kids moved in...so i guess that is really when i became a mom....but since they were 8 and 9, people *think* i became a mom at 18.

Funny! I have the exact same thing only 2 years younger. I was 25 when I became J's mom. But since he was 9 at the time, it looks like I had him at 16.

MindyBeth, I have to get new glasses. I was glancing at the new posts for the day, and when I saw your thread, I thought the title read, "Totally Curious...at what age did you become a mime?"

I just had to share that laugh with you.

However, I'll be 39 when DD comes home. How time flies!

I was 37 when John was born and 38 when he came home. I didn't think I would be that age having my first but if it had been any earlier or later then I wouldn't be John's Mommy. And that is the greatest thing in the world to me!
