Got married when I was 36. Our son was born when I was 38. We're heading for number 2 now -- and I'm 40. I can't imagine being a mom at any other time in my life. It's perfect timing as far as I'm concerned...

I was 29 when my first daughter was born and came home.
I was 30 when my second daughter was born and came home.
I am now 32 and praying that one more child comes into our family

I was 29 when my son was born.

But I don't consider myself to be his mom until he came home a few months after my 30th birthday.

I was 27 when DS was born and 30 when DD was born and came home. I always said I'd like to be finished having kids by 30, but now I can't help but think there are more kids in our future--at least 5 more years though! These 2 keep me hopping!

I was 31 when I started the adoption process and Ruby finally came home the week after I turned 34. I brought Medina home when I was 35. (This seems really old to me but my perspective is a little skewed since I work with a lot of pregnant teens.)

I was married at 18 to my high school sweetie, and we got pregnant 3 months after the wedding. So, I was 19 years old when I had my first; age 20 when I had my second; age 25 when I had my third. Sophie came home from Guatemala when I was 37. DH and I recently celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. It's kinda crazy that my oldest two are 18 & 19, the age I was when I got married/had my first baby!
