Seeing kids grow up

While we are waiting to build our family through open adoption, it has been wonderful to be included in lives of two small friends that are the children of good friends. Hanging out with Aidan and Alexandra (both 2 now!) and their parents is wonderful. It is great to see them develop into toddlers and learn new things every week. And it is just so much fun to hang out and play together! Spending time with Alexandra and Aidan makes us a little bit sad because it makes us realize what we're missing in our own family. But overwhelmingly, it makes us so happy to be a part of their life and have the opportunity to get to know them so well. We know that a birthmother, birthfather, or birthfamily will find us and we will get the opportunity to share our lives with a little one.
