I Accidentally This Username

My birthparents were 17 when I was born (can somebody say Juno?), and my parents (both pairs, although I consider "parents" the ones I live with) had made arrangements to adopt while I was still in the womb.

racheypoo

My AMom was 26, and ADad was 31. I came to them at birth.

I was 35 (almost 36) when I adopted my daughter, and she was almost 3 when she came to me.

LinnyG

My Mom and Dad were both 33, I was almost 6 months old, thanks to Catholic Charities not knowing the state laws where I was born.

Cambria

My parents were 29 or 30 and I was 4 days old.

ETA: Both of my biological parents were 16 at the time.

kateiskate is getting married

My adoptive parents were both 25. They had been married since they were 18. I was three or four months old when I went home with them. But I the adoption was not finalized until I was almost two years old.

cruzgirlz3

My parents were 31 and 35 when they adopted me. I was the youngest of three (all adopted).

My first mother was 25-she was a widow and had two very young children already. She went on to have one more after me, when she remarried. I was only three days old when I was placed for adoption.

H******

My adoptive parents were aged 31 and 33 when I arrived at their home aged 3 months. I have no idea where I was between the age of 3 days and 3 months old. The adoption was finalized when I was a year old.

Ranchmom1

My birthmom was a few days away from her 21st birthday when I was born on June 4, 1967. My adoptive parents were 28 (mom) and 35 (dad). They had been married for 8 years at that time. They had adopted my brother (biologically unrelated to me) 2 years before I was born.

We adopted our oldest daughter after she became part of our family as a teenager. Her mother lost custody of her when our daughter was 13 due to severe neglect and abuse. I am the same age as her original mother, 42.

My ap's were 34 when I was placed with them. I was almost 6 months old. They married when they were 20. Dad got drafted and spent two years in the Army, mostly in Korea, almost as soon as they married. I am their oldest child.

kidmindi

My adoptive parents were 42 and 47 when I came to live with them. I was 2.

I adopted my daughter when I was 35 and she was 21 months old (altho I had been raising her since she was 8 months old)

As for my bio kids, I got pregnant at 18, had her at 19. I had my 2nd at 21, My 3rd at 26, my 4th at 27 and my 5th at 35. I am all done now.

Jennifer L

I was a teenager when I gave birth to my child, whom I parented. I was unable to give birth a second time.

I was in my early 30's when I adopted two children from overseas. They were 10 and 5 (sister and brother) at the time.

Kini

When my husband and I adopted our daughter I was 23 and my husband was 21. Our daughter was five months old. Her biological parents were 34 and 36.

Lori A

I was 16 when I surrendered. My parents were just reaching their 40's, so were my daughters aparents, but she wasn't their first child. She was their second, and last. I was technically a grandmother at the age of 34 but didn't know it for a few years. I had two more kids at the age of 36 and 37. So my grand daughter is older than her two uncles. I have two grand children and another due in Sept.

Angela R

I was 26 and my husband was 28 when we adopted our oldest son. He joined our family at 6 months old, and the adoption was finalized 8 months later. Our youngest son joined our family 14 months after our first child did, and was also 6 months old.

Mom to Foster Children

My hubby and I are in our early 40's and our son came to live with us at the age of 5 he was almost 7 when the adoption was done. His mother and father are both 26 years of age.

Traci

I was 11 when the actual adoption went through the courts, and I had an official paperwork in my new parents hands. I was in foster care because I was abandoned my biological mother at a beach at the age of 3. I moved around and around, they labeled me "troubled" (who the heck wouldnt have been troubled...??) until I was 8 years old. That is when I moved in with my foster/adopted parents. They loved me and nurtured me out of my "troubled" phase...which lasted until I was 17..at which point I finally realized they were there for me through thick and thin, and were never going to abandon me. I cherish them more than anything in this world aside from my own children, and thank GOD every single day that a very troubled mother had the audacity to leave her child at a public beach. If it hadnt been for her, I would never have found my true family.

Sorry I veered off of your question..I just love to talk about my devoted parents, and how lucky I have been.

=)

(EDIT) My adopted parents were 52 and 50 when I was officially adopted.

Honest & Sober

My parents well Dad was 27 and mum was 29

From the letters I have here. My parents became aware of my existence when I was 9 days old. They went to the centre/hospital when I was a couple weeks old to check me out. Then they picked me up when I was exactly 1 month old. Signed some forms at the centre/hospital. They then went to court and paid a $5 court fee, the judge signed the adoption off and I was then theirs. That may sound cold but that is how it was. It was the 1970s and a government run department.
