I envy ALL of you grandmas.
My oldest daughter (turned 32 yesterday) is single, but can't have
children. She has had numerous (over 7-9 I lost count) miscarries).
She has thought about adopting an older child but would prefer to
adopt siblings (she grew as an only child and always wanted siblings).
My middle daughter (age 23) lives in Virginia Beach with her her husband
who is in the Navy. Don't know if/when they might have kids.
The youngest daughter is a Junior in College and is double majoring
in Chemistry and Biology. She doesn't have a boyfriend, and doesn't
plan to get one, or get married and have kids until she is finished with
ALL of her schooling. This makes us VERY happy to know she is thinking
about her career and future first. She will be 21 in December.
At the rate things are looking though IF I ever do have grand kids it
might be with the youngest girl. Unless my daughter gets more sure
and serious about adoption.
I have to tell you that before ds married (only child), I had gotten to where I would tell him I was going to be my own grandma since it appeared I would never be anyone else's! Lol.. Son would tell me, "Heck Mom, at the rate I'm going I'm going to start having to ask potential dates if they have grandkids instead of kids!". LOL..
He graduated college, bought his house, and is established in his job. 1 year ago this past July he married a great girl (I say girl, she was 27, our son 28..lol). In addition to gaining a dil, hubby and I also gained a darling granddaughter. Dil was widowed at the age of 24, dgd was only a few months old when her daddy passed. It has been sad, bittersweet...but with sadness we also gained happiness. Our son is in process of adopting our dgd. She was 4 in June. And now her lil brother is due next month. So you never know when you will be gaining a grandchild!! And I must say it IS as great as it's cracked up to be!
