However, while their physical ages are older ... each of our children were MUCH younger academically, socially, emotionally. So ... your 10 year old will still be the "oldest", I am sure.<br /><br />LaurelLaurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253303288242135440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712791224862826068.post-65459398432756459982010-12-16T09:36:24.578-08:002010-12-16T09:36:24.578-08:00It's so good to hear from you.

As I noticed Anita mentioned they may and may not be that old (not that it matters anymore) but you will be the one to eventually decide how old you really think they are. They will still fit into your family just fine.<br />Good luck at court! It will feel so good after that is done!Venegas Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10638637016365645893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712791224862826068.post-66067658400397890882010-12-15T18:47:08.437-08:002010-12-15T18:47:08.437-08:00My thoughts are with you as you head towards court...My thoughts are with you as you head towards court! The ages--that's so tough. Unfortunately, it can be super hard to tell ages when the kids come in, and parents truly don't know most of the time (in Ghana). I've found that even when a child's date of birth can be verified as true, sometimes kids say their ages are higher than they are (because don't all kids want to be older)?! Not at ALL questioning your kids' ages--just sharing some thoughts. Hopefully their ages will be perfectly clear to you after they've been home for several months. At any rate, I'm so glad that it's not a deal breaker for you and that you are standing by your kids!A.

We also found out that our daughter was two years older and even though it is okay it is an adjustment...I do understand.<br />Glad you are all together.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842778531500045113noreply@blogger.com
