Lacy,
Thank you so much for sharing your story! Right now we're just looking at the possibility of a sibling pair--much fewer than your clan--but I am still very nervous about transitioning from no children to two children instantly. (I'm almost 40 so I wonder if at my age it will feel like an even greater shock to the system--for example, we're used to staying up to the wee hours of the morning and sleeping in!) I worry a lot about the issues the kids may have as a result of their previous experiences and how those will make the transition even tougher. But I will keep remembering what you wrote knowing that it is important to give it time and be very patient... I am so excited and nervous at the same time! Your story has totally inspired me...
