Chatter Boxes

There are a lot of decisions to make when becoming new parents. Some of our decisions were much like everyone else. What names do we like? What colors should we choose for the nursery? Cloth diapers or disposable? (Cloth by the way - just in case you wondered).

But there were some decisions that were unique to our situation. What country do we choose? Do we want a boy or a girl? Do we want an infant? I have to say that there's one decision I feel so lucky to have made. The blessing of choosing siblings.

There is no doubt that that choice was the right one. We checked the sibling box with a certain amount of faith that we would know what in the world we were doing. For the most part we've managed and for the rest - well, God is good to provide and grandparents are awesome!

And here's some free advice (I just can't help myself). If ever you encounter an adoptive family with more than one child and you absolutely have to know who is biologically related and who isn't (which I think is weird but that's another post for another day) - please don't ask if they are "real brothers". It confuses small children who believe themselves and their family members to be real - not fake.

Brothers - no doubt - they are!
