I spent some time with a friend and the two babies she adopted from Russia. (This is the second couple/friends of ours who have adopted from Russia). The little girl is nearly a year, walking, and doing a pretty good impression of talking. The phonics might not be exactly right, but the intonation and syllable length are so perfect that it doesn't take much to figure out what she's saying. The little boy was adorable too.
Amazingly, with both families that adopted, the kids look very much like one or the other parent. :) I felt absolutely foolish sometimes starting to say she/he has your/your husband's eyes, nose, personality.
I truly enjoyed being pregnant and breastfeeding. I truly hated postpartum depression and all the accompanying hormone weirdness.
But when you've had them a while you forget how they got there, I think.
