I became a Mommy on May 12, 2006 when I was 31! That was the day we received Ian's referral and I was a Mommy as soon as I saw his picture ! We were blessed to have him home at 5 months old when I was still 31!
God willing we will be adding to our family soon! We are praying for blessings in 2009!

I was 26 when Tyler was born, but 27 when he came home. I always said I wanted to be a young mom, but after years of fertility treatment....I'll take this anyday

I haven't read through the posts, so I don't know (from an adoption standpoint, when I officially became a mom) - I feel that I became a mom when I received the photos, so 31. DS came home when I was (and still am) 32.

I was 26 when Lilly and Emerson were born and 27 when Lucas was born. 2007 was an interesting year.
