Young mother cats don't **always** get it right. In your situation, you know the kittens came through OK and Mama Cat did her job. They're not any more prone to health issues just because they had a young mom, so the kittens should be fine. I'd go ahead and adopt them. Congratulations on your furry new family members, and hope that helps! With a really young mother cat the biggest issue is whether the kittens were well-cared-for when they were little.
