At over 50, what is the best age of child?

Originally Posted By SusanI adopted my first child at 45, my second at 50. Both were infants. Now, I am 61 with a 15 and 10 year old. Both are beautiful, healthy and bright, and I am very, very proud to be their mom. Was I too old to adopt them? I think that's a question that each individual or couple must make for themselves. I am more tired at the end of the day than I would have been were I younger, and I have some more aches, pains and worries. But could I imagine life without my kids? No way!
