I lost both my parents a couple of years ago myself. I have had a very hard time accepting that they won't be around to see my children grow up. They knew my son before they died and were very close to him. We are now adopting a little girl. I don't know how they would have felt about my decision. I think my parents would have encouraged me to be content with only having one child, and to devote myself to raising him. It doesn't worry me that she isn't related by blood to us, as I know we will love her just as much as if she was. But for some reason I do feel as if my parents wouldn't have approved so I feel a bit of discontent about our decision. I think most of the time when I feel this way, I'm feeling down in general about the wait. I'm sure when she moves in here I will have no doubt what so ever that she belongs in this family.

I hope that you too will have the feeling of a complete family soon.
Good luck,
Victoria
