We had our physicals today. We really don't have a primary doctor so I got a referral from a friend. Turns out the doctor on duty today just adopted twin girls! He was so excited to be able to help someone with their adoption process. He talked with us for almost 45 minutes. We were his last appointment for the day so he took his time. He was very open with us and shared his experience. He also stressed the importance of knowing whether or not the mother drank during her first trimester. He felt that was more harmful than a mother addicted to meth or heroin. I really wanted to know his opinion on the physical aspects of addiction and how that affects a baby. He was so straight forward and I think he really appreciated the chance to educate us. We were both excited to meet someone that had recently adopted and was so knowledgable about things I was concerned about. I couldn't have imagined a better scenario for us. It was such a great experience.
We have our seminar on Friday and Saturday. Last week we learned that our friends that adopted the twin boys will be one of the guest speakers. They asked us first before committing because they were concerned it might be awkward for us knowing them and having them speak to the group. But that didn't cross our minds at all. We think it will be nice to know someone there. We're curious to see how many people will be attending.
It's nice to have things fall in place and happen smoothly as if it was meant to be. We never had this during our IVF journey. I hope it continues.
