MY FIRST BOY PRESENT...EVER!
My friend Karla stopped by the office to say "hi" today. She brought an early Mothers' Day present for me. She is on my "nicest people ever" list. You know, the ones that don't have a mean bone in their body. The ones that always are thinking of someone else's needs. Anyway, she brought me a poem about boys. Someone had given her this poem when her firstborn was little. She loved it so much that she thought I should have one too, since God has now given me TWO boys! It kind of caught me off guard. I have lived in a world of girls for so long that it has become part of my identity. I KNOW girls! I UNDERSTAND girls! Although we have always looked forward to having son-in-laws, I really never imagined what life would be like with boys running around the house...until now. I can actually walk downstairs and look at their room and try to decide where I will hang my boy poem. I am so thankful for all my friends who have, or have had boys! I am going to need some training in and counseling to be sure. My friend Karla has 3 very nice boys. Maybe one of them will be friends with one of my boys!? Cool! Who would have thought???? Today I got my first boy present...ever! Thanks, Karla!

Hi Mary, I found you! I have read several (most) of your posts. Thank you for sharing this with me, I can appreciate much of what you are writing about, even though I have not gone through the adoption process. I had some similar feelings when I found out that we were expecting Isaac -- years after we thought our family was "complete". As for boy stuff -- you know you can always count on me, although you will be fine I am sure. You already know how to be a great parent, and that is not gender specific! I plan to be a regular visitor to your site. Again, thanks, and know that you are in my prayers.
