我们拥有的一切都很完美——一座占地四十英亩的漂亮圆木房子,美满的婚姻,还有一条忠心耿耿的狗。
唯一的缺憾就是我们没有孩子。
我们尝试了很多年,想拥有一个孩子,却都没能如愿。
因此我和丈夫艾尔想领养孩子。
基于各种原因,我们决定领养一个年龄大些的。
不仅因为我们两人都工作,照顾孩子会成问题;而且我们目前唯一的“孩子”
科尔比,一条斯伯林格斯班尼种犬——它的精力太旺盛了,小孩子根本控制不了它。
坦率地说,我们从没养过孩子,一想到照看婴儿就有些紧张。
领养机构让我们回去耐心等待,几个月后会有学龄儿童可领养。
谁知刚过几个星期,也就是在圣诞节的前几周,他们就给我们打电话,问我们是否愿意先领养一个名叫卡莱布的两岁半的孩子,照看他几个月。
这使我们措手不及,他们说那孩子急需有个能照顾他的人家。
