Our wish before we got married was to have 3 children. We also said that IF we wouldn't get any, we would adopt kids.
It was good that we had talked about this,as nature decided that we would never get kids of our own. So, we adopted 2 kids, both from a different country. Would you believe that we don't even notice it anymore that they look so different from us? In our opinion, they are OUR kids, and we would do it again!!
