We each come from a family where we have 1 sibling.  The bond we still have with our sisters today is one reason we long for 2 children.  We have 2 nephews  and 1 niece as well as a  Goddaughter who was once our foster child.  We also have 2 "grandsons". We jokingly call them that out of love, because of how close we are to them and their mother, a teen we met through a mentor program who has now become a part of our extended family.  Our new child would be surrounded by the love of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
