Consequently, i don't know if it will be in our family's (specifically, our daughter's) future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-18278257531159617612010-01-08T12:24:31.069-06:002010-01-08T12:24:31.069-06:00My daughter asks for a brother or sister almost da...My daughter asks for a brother or sister almost daily. We would love to adopt a second child from China and have been waiting for 2.5 years with no end in sight. In place of a sister we talk about the other family in our town who have twins from our daughters SWI as her Yangxi-sisters, and our daughter is very happy to embrace them as kin of sorts. We get holiday cards from some of the families from our travel group and my daughter is always excited to learn more about them. I was an only child, and happy being an only child, but in the pit of my stomach I feel like my daughter needs a sibling. I am not sure if a sibling is in our future I I hope so.travelmom and morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120395106521653130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-61620576447825514992010-01-08T02:42:17.809-06:002010-01-08T02:42:17.809-06:00Of course I love LOVE LOVE reading your blog.

(since we have been back, the laws have changed and you can no longer adopt two biologically unrelated at the same time). Anyway, after being home for 4 years I can honestly say I can't imagine one without the other. :-) Being so close in age they have learned so much together and will always have such a special bond. It may not be biological, but it is special. Just like you have described, my two are so in tune with each other's needs. Be it nails :-) or just general protection. Thank you so much for all you share :-) I so enjoy it :-) <br />--Stephanie DavisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-8798098378388724342010-01-07T22:53:03.852-06:002010-01-07T22:53:03.852-06:00Great story.
