I never thought that I could love this much and at that, a child that wasn't mine. The moment I realized how much I loved them and how much my partner loved them, was the moment where I realized that we actually could adopt if we had the opportunity.
I understand that when having a child you want that mother/child connection, and there is nothing quite like the bond between a mom and her child, BUT I realized that, alot of the connections that we get with our children don't just apear because you gave birth to them, its all about love, trust, mutual respect between parent and child and wanting everything for them and providing in your best ability the most unconditional love in the world. At the end of the day being loved uncontionally is all anyone can ask for.
As the two older kids were older and always in school, the baby of the family became our baby when he was at our home. We would make jokes with his mom and say we were co-parents, and we would laugh and talk about the things we loved about him.
Although sometimes It would be hard for me to see him when he was at my house as I'd work long shifts, I'd still cherish every moment I'd spend with him.
This year having bought our first home and having no children yet and seeing that he was coming over alot we decided to make him his own room for when he would come.
No names are mentioned for the privacy of my friend and her family. Love you and your family will always be apart of ours! ...
PS disclamer: I know I am not a paren't not saying I am, I just love children, and someday hope do be a good mom, sure I will make mistakes but like everyone else I will learn.
