The early days

In the early days, as husband and wife:
We planned.
We saved.
We moved house.
We worked.
We had fun.

In the early days, as prospective adoptive parents:
We learnt.
We read.
We fretted.
We prepared.
We waited.

In the early days, as parents:
We changed.
We panicked.
We cried.
We laughed.
We fell in love.

Now, as a family:
We love. We laugh. We cry. We learn. We fail. We succeed. We move forward.
