Artem had surprised me. We hadn't talked about my idea of adopting all the kids that were staying with us, but it turns out that he had also been thinking the same thing. That made me truly happy.
After talking it over we decided we were going to sit all of them down after dinner tonight and ask them what it was they wanted. They would only be adopted if they wanted to be. We weren't going to force any of them into it.
I was nothing but a nervous wreck all through dinner. I kept dropping things and blushing like crazy when everyone stared at me. I think they thought I was still stunned from having found out I was expecting a baby. That wasn't what had me nervous.
No, I was afraid because I didn't know how the kids were going to react. I had been hoping that all of them would agree to join our family but who is to say that any of them would? Oh Goddess, I hoped that it all works out.
