Passage from "Adopted for Life"

[feliciakw]

One of the pieces of required reading is a book called Adopted for Life, by Russell Moore. The author writes about his and his wife's experience adopting two little boys from Russia.

These boys were both one year old, though born three weeks apart. The portions where he talks about the orphanage break my heart. (Other portions of the book are very exciting.)

I won't go into great detail, but one paragraph struck me in such a way that I thought my f-list specifically would be interested. Regarding the choice to adopt two children, the author writes:

More importantly, the two of them were obviously meant to be brothers. They were in the same orphanage room together, probably from near birth, and they have been inseparable friends ever since. When I ask whether they'd like ice cream, Timothy looks to Benjamin to see what kind he should order. At night, it's hard to keep them in their own beds; they always seem to wind up in the same one, curled up together. And if one is in trouble--like last night . . . one sneaked out of his bed to creep around the house--the other one is right behind him.

Just wanted to share.

Our other reading is much drier and more tedious.

As you were.

I'm so happy to see you and the hubs pressing on with the adoption process. Maybe you'll end up with your own "Sam and Dean". :)
