Angel,
I got twins!!!!
I was reading through your story and kept getting more and more excited, then read that you turned down the twins and felt disappointed, then you are reconsidering and I am thinking that if you are matched how blessed and wonderful it will be for you!
We adopted our girls at 5 months old. I did miss all the newborn stuff, but still I had two very small babies that needed bottle feeding around the clock. It was hard, but with a little creativity, it was very manageable. The worst part was the lack of sleep in those early months, but that is what comes with the job of being a new parent. The hardest part was just transporting two little babies around by myself. But again, creativity ruled out. I also got some wonderful advice from other parents that have raised twins.
My girls are amazing! Raising twins is definitely different from raising a single child. I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to be their parent and the rewards are so numerous. I definitely recommend twins!
I had lots of reservations when we were assigned twins. Of course my first reaction was yes, we would love to have twins, but then I started thinking about how on earth am I going to manage two little babies. If you want to talk about any fears and reservations you may have i would be happy to answer any questions that i can for you.
