I was 40 when DS was born and he came home just 2 weeks shy of my 41st birthday. My husband & I are both the oldest of our siblings but have the youngest children -- what does that say?

I got married at the age of 24 after graduating from college at age 23 and working nearly a year as a school teacher. Then had our first child... a daughter at age 30 and had our second child... a son at age 33.

Our son was born when I was 35 and home when I was 36. We hope to adopt again in the next year or so. We want Guatemala to re-open and start there again but will go in another direction if have to.
