So I'll probably be able to speak on this with much more authority later, but I'm finding some of the thoughts about adopting to be similar to pregnancy and fertility thoughts.
I took the kids to the aquarium yesterday, which was amazing as usual! The baby beluga was so incredible and the obvious attachment of mother and child, even though they aren't able to hold onto one another, is very strong.
I found myself constantly noticing children who didn't look like their caregivers and I had to rethink that they could be their parent and not just a nanny, auntie, etc. It was a bit like being pregnant or trying to get pregnant and everywhere you go there are pregnant mothers and babies.
I wonder if the new child that comes into our life will have experienced things like our children have thus far. Will he have been to the science centre, aquarium, camping, beaches, etc.? Will she have been in ballet or swim class? Will he sit on my lap while we read stories? Will she be scared of our dogs? Will we be boring compared to life in a city, on a farm, or on the island.
Lots and lots of questions. I can't wait to learn the answers.

Hello cute lady! How are you? It has been a while. I was just wondering how the waiting was going. It is hard to be so patient for such a big blessing to arrive! You are awesome.
