I'M 50 AND I HAVE A FOUR YEAR OLD, YIKES

I recently had a visit from a wonderful friend who became a first time parent the very same day that my husband I did.  What a day that was.  Everyone should become a first time parent in a forgien country with a lot of strangers, God does work in mysterious ways.

She and her daughter seem delighted to spend time with our family.  We get together at least once a year and sometimes several times a year, like this year. 

We were blessed with beautiful weather for their visit to our home town.  We enjoyed a "Just Ducky" tour and a visit to a local incline.

It was wonderful to see our daughter play together as if they saw each other every day.  They are at home with each other almost immediately.  They are so much alike and yet very different little people.  Her daughter is so well mannered and soft spoken.  My daughter is very fun loving and at times loud and crazy.  They are good for each other and we hope that they will be lifelong friends as we hope to be too.

Isn't it grand how God's plans work?

I hope to get some photos of their visit to post soon.

Would love to hear of others stories of friendships formed by adoption.
