We adopted our boys within 6 months of each other. Although they are not twins, they are only 2 1/2 months apart in age. They are practically twins in themselves. As a matter of fact, they even are experiencing "twin-talk" right now. They ahve been with us since Bug was 2 days old and Bear was 8 weeks old. I do not know of any websites personally, but from expenience I can tell you some positives and negatives...

Negatives:
There are very few stores that have carts that accomodate 2 children at the same time...especially infants.

Pretty much count any "adult" night out as history. The only time we left the boys to go out, it took MIL, FIL and MIL's sister to watch them because the thought itself overwhelmed them. Mind you they were only 6 and 8 months old too.

Twice the mess!

Twins or multiples are VERY intreaguing to people...be prepared for every kind of invasive question you can imagine...and many you can't!

Instead of just learning to run in 2 different directions at once, you are going to have to learn to run in all 4!


Positives:
They always have each other to play with...and the bond is amazing!

Twice the kisses and cuddles.

Twice the joy

Twice the pride

Twice the love!


If I had it to do all over again...I wouldn't chance a thing!! I can't express the love that eminates when I rock my babies...one on each shoulder...as they cuddle and kiss me!
