Some of you may remember my post from a couple of months ago about my daughter intending to adopt a little boy, and I was worried because I thought I may not be able to love him. Most respondees said that I would , given time, and that I was 'overthinking' it.

UPDATE: This 2 year-old eventually arrived to live with my daughter, husband and their 5 year-old daughter at the end of November. Everything is going well. Their daughter accepts him, and is loving towards him. And he is a lovely little boy. A bit shy, a bit tearful now and then, but he laughs a lot too.

Christmas Eve - and we all go to a Carol Service at the local church. 'Away In A Manger' is sung, which always makes me tearful. I dig into my handbag for a tissue (feeling embarrassed) and new little grandson - sitting next to me - wants one too. Surreptitiously I wipe my eyes, when there is a little pat on my arm, and he reaches out and dabs my face with his tissue.

Oh! I liked him before, but this is my first moment of pure love for him.

You were all right - I would love him. And I do!

Happy Christmas!

That's so lovely.And so reassuring One of my DDs is highly unlikely to be able to have children without a lot of medical intervention and has expressed her intention to adopt I possible She is a natural with children ,and patient and kind.So adoption has been on my mind,and how it would feel as grandma .Thank you for sharing Lyndiloo.

Well there you are Lyndi what a lovely little boy, and how nice that he has settled in so well with his new family.
Adopting a child is a wonderful thing to do.

We have adopted nephews and they have always known they were loved and part of the wider family from day one. How is it that we all loved them straight away? - I do not know!

Enjoy your new GS! smile

Pass me a tissue please, I need to dab my eyes.

I'm so pleased for you and your family, which of course now includes this little one. You are so lucky to have found each other.
