What a blessing -- a boy AND a girl!! You can't ask for better than that. Congratulations!!

I have a couple of friends with twins: all bio kids -- one set from fertility drugs (boy & girl), and one set as a complete shocker (two girls). The girls were born on April Fool's Day, which the mother said was appropriate because it was Mother Nature's biggest joke on her!!

Both advise new moms of twins to get involved w/a "parents of multiples" group for support. Issues arise that you just don't think about when you have them one at a time. Both women feel so blessed to have twins. The first three months are rough, but then the twins have built-in playmates and things get a lot easier.

Good luck with your adoption!!

- Faith

Twins

I would like to thank you all so much for all the wonderful support. We have picked the names Emily Elizabeth, and Nathaniel Thomas.Thank you so much for the support groups. Our family is SO loooking froward to having new siblings. OUr son said finally a brother!!! He is so happy but still out numbered. We will have three girl and two boy. Oh well he will just have to wait for awhile , we have to finish this adoption first. I would like to find one more little boy so all will be even. Thank you all again talk later .

Susie

Susie,
I cannot express how truly happy I am for you! I know that the last few months have been so rough for you ( especially the last few weeks) and I am thrilled that you finally have the news that you have been wiating for! I know you will make excellent parents yet again!
Hugs
Stacy
