Oh my goodness, my older brother and my dear sister-in-law (to put up with him all these years...LOL) are adopting a baby, due mid October. They are both retired and have all the time in the world, and wanted a child after all these years, never having one of their own.
Now, my brother tells me his baby will be well behaved, unlike some family members he knows.....:wah:
When I tell people this, they think it is strange, to be so old and want to start a family. I think a baby is always a blessing, and grandchildren even more so. :-4
I'm going to be an auntie again!

Oh that is just wonderful news Chonsi!
I'm happy for them, as now being retired, they have the time and its a blessing to the baby being adopted to have a real loving home.

Life is just to short for drama.

Congratulations, Chons, on your new auntiehood (cant find sunshine smilie, so just imagine it's there)

(Since they're retired, are they considering getting a 10 year old, so they can get a jump on things? :p)

Congratulations chonsigirl! :-6
BTW, how's that grandchild of yours? Growing like a weed, I bet. :-4
Our grandson will be home on leave in July. Looking forward to seeing him, it has been a year since we have. And of course, he'll try to drink me under the table. :wah:

I think that is wonderful news! Congrats Aunt Chonsi. To want to adopt a child when you are retired and have time for them, instead of wanting to travel, etc. is one of the most unselfish things I've ever heard.
