Don't some kids just ask for video games?
Like it or not, adoption opened a whole new world of possibilities for my kids. Rose sees nothing wrong with being very specific in her request for a new sibling. It must be a boy and he must be younger. To quote Rose: "Definitely under 8. Having another person younger than me would only increase my power."
Oh my goodness, Eileen, this is so funny! And sweet! Any chance Rose will get her wish?!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Eileen, I thought I had your email address way back, but don't find it anywhere in my contacts...so perhaps not. Is there anyway I could write to you privately? I have a couple of adoption-related questions I'd really appreciate your insight into.
If it's alright, you can reach me at chapmancentral@aol.com.
Have a great day!

Out of the mouth of babes! It's so funny because it's true. It's scary that she understands that already!
ReplyDeleteIt's so great when kids can really articulate what they want :) Did you articulate back?
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI have 2 bio children (boys) and 2 adopted children (girls). While schooling my 5 yo daughter the other morning, during the middle of Math she looked at me with a "face" and asked, "So am I going to get another sister or what?" I was so surprised! I would love nothing more than to bring home another sister or brother, but alas, it isn't meant to be.
I believe children should get everything they want, lol
ReplyDeleteIt's a sign! :)
