We don’t have to make sure that our children are on their best behavior or watch to make sure they haven’t decided to play football with the crystal vase. None of us thinks twice about plucking someone else’s child off the banister before they make the headlong plunge onto the wood floor in the foyer.,</blockquote><br /> What a relief that is! During our get-togethers I can let my guard down because I know that 10 other adults will help me parent. This is exactly what it’s like with my group of friends:

The Internet has helped tremendously, as my first years away I relied on snail mail to keep in touch and so had big gaps in conversations.
My adoption adventures are now part of the fabric of my friends’ lives, as well, and my little kids are as much a part of the “me” they know and love as are the ones they knew growing up in California.
I treasure every friend I have.
