Would you like to make a new generation next round?: Yes please.
Dave and I have had a busy year, having just welcomed two new children into our family. While I was pregnant with our daughter Sophie, we got some sad news from Dave's relatives in France. His cousin Yvette had been sick for a long time, and she recently died. It wasn't unexpected, but it was still tragic, especially since she left behind a six-year-old son, Henri. She and Dave were fairly close, almost like brother and sister instead of cousins, and Dave is Henri's godfather. When Yvette died, her mother, Dave's aunt, was willing to take custody of Henri, but she is seventy-five years old and in failing health, and she wasn't sure she could take care of him. She wanted Dave and me to adopt him.
This was the subject of much heated and emotional debate in our house for a couple of months. We already had seven children and an eighth on the way; I was sure we'd never be able to handle a six-year-old, and it didn't seem fair to us, our children, or Henri. I was dead set against the adoption for these reasons, while Dave was determined to go through with it. It got to the point where we actually stopped speaking to each other for a couple of days. When it was over, I realized how strongly Dave felt about adopting Henri, and after talking with Dave's aunt, I started to feel better about the idea.
Now that Henri has been with us for four months, I am confident that we made the right choice. Henri was very scared, sad, and confused when he first came to live with us, but he adores Dave and has finally started to warm up to our other children. His mother spoke both English and French at home, so he knows both languages and sometimes has long conversations in French with his older sisters, who are all studying French in school. He was also very excited about Sophie's birth, which happened about a month after he arrived. The triplets were excited too, to finally have another girl in the family.
