Me: "No way! You will always be our baby, even when you are an old granny. We will never replace you."
She beamed.
I love her so much that I sometimes think my heart might burst open. I am so glad she's my child. But I need to take a nap just thinking about the possibility of raising more than one! I never thought I'd be satisfied with one child, but I truly am, 100%.

Nothing wrong in being a singleton. I'm one and I'm very happy.
ReplyDeleteHi - I've been reading your blog for a few months now and this post hit a nerve. I have one biological child and I felt like he wasn't enough, so my husband and I adopted a sibling pair. They have been SOO much. Sometimes I wonder if we had just adopted one or the other if we would have done a better job. My daughter has made a great adjustment but my son has struggled and I have struggled and you are doing such a terrific job with your daughter. You seem to have loads more patience and empathy. I'm always feeling so stressed out by the demands of everyone that I don't give my son as much patience as I could. This is rambling, but I think you being able to give all your attention to Princess is definitely a wonderful thing for her. Thanks for sharing your journey. I've gotten some great ideas for my kiddos - and I've had them for eight years!
