Of all the things ive ever been blessed with, in a lifetime of blessings, the one that made me the most exhausted, and the happiest was the gift of adopting one son and finding out I was pregnant before the adoption had even finalized
when i was a little girl, my aunt and uncle wanted another child after their first was born. so they were in the process of adopting a kid when the parent backed out and a few weeks after my aunt found out she was pregnant. my cousin was 12 when his first sibling came along and then another 3.
@summerfield my mom went into a very early menopause when I was born (she was 24) and then they adopted Brett when he was 6 months old and I was almost 5. When I was 12 suddenly they told her, "your ulcer we've been treating for five months, has a heartbeat." And that is how we learned Lance was on his way,
Sweet shot.... I can relate to this photo!!! Oh Dixie, does this ring a bell....... Tried for five years to get pregnant, and nothing. We adopted our son as a tiny infant........ and I became pregnant 15 months later -- just as we were considering starting adoption proceeding again. We have a boy and a girl now..... ages 50 and 47.
