Ready to Retire, But Still Full-Time Parents
Charles Parmalee will still be going to parent-teacher conferences in his seventies. Like a lot of late-life parents, he and his wife Jan didn't plan it this way; it just kind of happened.
Married when he was 44 and she was 32, they had two kids in the early 1990s and figured they were done. Then, in 1997, the couple saw a TV show about the austere conditions at an orphanage in Asia that pulled at their heartstrings. Within five years, they'd adopted two precious little girls from China.
