Thank you for sharing your story as well.
I understand the pain of being confronted with pregnancies and babies. You are happy for those people, but sad because of your own situation. Which is completely normal.
I’m praying for you as well. Hopefully we can share our positive story here 
Dear Joshua,
When we adopted you, I knew in my heart that the tiny, wild haired baby I held in my arms had something special about him.
As you grew, we realized what a warm and caring child you were becoming.
Now, you are grown and helping to change the world to make it a better place for everyone. Your passion, drive, intelligence, and kindness as a grown man makes me so proud of you!
Whatever happens, remember to change the things you can, but don’t let the world change who you are.
Love,
Dad
@Jill_Francisco @Anje_Leonoza_Mira @Orangesareus @Tricia12 thx you very much for the kind words, for the moment i am really looking forward to tomorrow as my oldest 22 years old son gets home after he spend 3 weeks in Brooks, Alberta (Canada) again for his job (this was his third time going there for his job for 3 weeks, he went last year in October, this year in January and now he left on may 11th), i haven’t spoken to him in all this time because of the time difference, we only send messages thru Snapchat, his plane is going up in 2,5 hours in Calgary (Canada) as his flight back is always a night flight to Frankfurt (Germany) and then he needs to take another plane from Frankfurt (Germany) to Brussels (Belgium), this is just a short flight from 1 hour from Frankfurt (Germany) to Brussels (Belgium) as there are no direct connections from Brussels (Belgium) to Calgary (Canada), so then he has an 1,5 hour drive from Brussels Airport to be home (A taxi is bringing him home from Brussels Airport to where we live near to the French border, so ik think he will be home around 3PM, for me personally it has been enough 3 weeks, really wanna see him in person again and hug him, he is always on the road for his job, but Canada is always for many weeks, i got his plane in Flightaware and i won’t be sleeping much this night as i always an restless when he is flying, and checking Flightaware well be the first thing i do when i open my eyes tomorrow morning at 6.30AM when i get up calling my other 2 children out of bed for school, so he should land tomorrow morning at 10AM in Frankfurt, hope he had a better flight than 3 weeks ago, when they had to make an emergency landing at another airport in Canada than Calgary because someone died on his plane, and he was kinda upset about that then, i’m so proud of what is has achieved, this is only his second year he is working
so today i was in University Hospital Ghent again with my daughter (she is 17) , and things are going as planed with her there, so we hope she can have her second surgery soon, the bigger one than she had on December 23th of last year
my other son (20) is on his last weeks of school, only for weeks to go and the on July 6th he will start to work in a sheltered working place as he has a disability, he has ASS and a mild mental disability, he needs some assistance from me every day, but see he got here also
so really proud of them all 3 as they handle live even when it gets rough and they always stay positive and have values in life being kind and helpful to others and understanding, they are my biggest possession, nothing else matters more to me, they can take everything from me as long as i have them nothing else matters
Thats fantastic to see your children progress in life. Wishing them all the very best.
For some time I wanted to be a mom but I couldn’t
But time whent by an today at 57 I consider myself to be the “mom” of Ema my dog and Maria and Ritinha, my two cats.
What I am most proud of is specialy of how gentel and sweet my dog Ema is.
Always whants to compliment everyone on our walks and is specialy gentil with litle children.
What a great story Nita, I’m really happy for you. @Nita_Davis
Thanks so much. @Harley
To my child 
One day, you’ll grow up and maybe forget the little things… But I never will.
I will always remember your tiny hands holding mine so tightly, the way you used to run toward me like I was your whole world, the nights I stayed awake just watching you sleep peacefully beside me. 
Before you came into my life, I thought I already understood love. But you taught me a different kind of love — the kind that worries, protects, sacrifices, and stays forever.
I know one day you will have your own dreams, your own journey, your own people to love. And maybe I won’t always walk beside you. But no matter how old you become, you will always be the little child living inside my heart. 
I don’t need you to become perfect. I only hope you grow up kind, brave enough to face the world, and soft enough to still feel joy in small things.
And if life ever becomes too heavy, please remember: you can always come home to me. 
Love, Mom/Dad
Dear Cia and Jerice,
As I write this, Cia is 10 years old and Jerice is 7. Right now, your laughter fills our home, your toys somehow find their way into every corner of the house, and your endless questions keep Mama and Papa on our toes every day. 
There are days when I’m tired from work, days when life feels overwhelming, and days when all I want is a little peace and quiet. But somehow, the moment I hear your voices calling “Mama!”, everything feels a little lighter.
Cia, I remember your curious little eyes, always asking questions and wanting to understand how things work. I remember how you would carefully examine every tiny piece of our miniature kits and make sure everything was in the right place.
Jerice, I remember your infectious laughter, your playful energy, and how you could turn an ordinary day into an adventure. I remember how excited you would get over the smallest things and how your smile could instantly brighten a room.
One of my favorite memories is spending time with both of you building our Rolife miniature kits. While other families might bond over sports or movie nights, we spend hours searching for tiny pieces, building tiny furniture, and occasionally panicking because someone dropped a tiny chair that disappeared into another dimension. 
Those moments may seem ordinary now, but they mean so much to me. As we build miniature houses, cafés, and gardens together, we’re also building memories that I hope you’ll carry with you forever.
It’s not your grades, achievements, or trophies, although those are wonderful too. What makes me proud is the people you are becoming.
Cia, your kindness, thoughtfulness, and willingness to help others.
Jerice, your joyful spirit, your courage to try new things, and the way you make people laugh without even trying.
The world needs more kind people, and I see that kindness in both of you every day.
You don’t have to be perfect? You are already perfect to me as is you are today and forever. You don’t have to be the smartest, the strongest, or the most successful person in the room. You are already enough. No achievement, mistake, success, or failure will ever change how much I love you. I hope you carry that truth with you wherever life takes you. As you grow older, I hope you carry kindness in your heart, humility in your victories, strength in difficult times, and gratitude for the simple things. I hope you never lose your ability to laugh, to dream, and to find joy in life’s little moments.
I know there will come a day when you won’t need Mama’s help as much. You’ll have your own dreams, your own friends, and your own paths to follow. That’s exactly what I want for you.
But if you happen to read this letter many years from now, I want you to know something:You were the best part of my life. The little hands I held, the bedtime stories we shared, the family weekends, the cups of coffee and tea in our garden, the Rolife kits spread across the table, the laughter, the chaos, and even the mess,those are some of the most precious memories I will ever have.
Thank you for making me a mother. Thank you for teaching me patience, unconditional love, and the beauty of finding happiness in the smallest moments. No matter how old you become, no matter where life takes you, you will always have a home in my heart. And if one day you’re building a miniature house with your own children, I hope you smile and remember us.
Love always,
Mama Nheza

Oh Miriam, my heart goes out to you. This can be such a painful journey. My prayers go out to you and this is that this year you will be given a most precious gift! 
. May your hopes and dreams come through!
Happy birthday to Brandon! I have a Brandon too!
This is such a heartfelt reflection. It’s beautiful how your parents shaped your values through both their words and actions. 
so my son is back from Canada where he was for his job for 3 weeks and MG !!! So I asked Dante to bring Crumble Cookies from Canada and he said he would try to buy some in Calgary on the day flying home if he had the time before checking in to his flight, so he told me to remind him the day he was flying back from Canada and i made him a special picture with Cookie Monster in it to ask/remind him of the Crumle Cookies, his sister really wanted to try this, so he got 12 of them and we did half half, 6 for us and 6 for him and his girlfriend and i payed him for 6 cookies. So i made the 4 of us each a plate with different once to taste. This is what I will be eating watching tv this evening.
when he landed in Frankfurt he saw his plane was canceled to Brussels so had to look out to get on another plane to Brussels and he got lucky there was another plane 1 hour later he could get and there was still a place for him on it, so we can catch up now, missed him, so glad he is back and i will sleep like an angel knowing he is back.
And I have a Brendan.
She’s so lovely! Your presence, patience, and unconditional love are gifts that shape her world in beautiful ways.
Dear Future Child,
I don’t know if I will ever have the chance to meet you, but sometimes I find myself wondering about you.
What will make you laugh? What dreams will fill your heart? What kind of person will you become?
If one day you come into my life, there are a few things I hope you will always remember.
First, you do not need to be perfect. You do not need to earn love through achievements, grades, or success. You will be worthy simply because you are you.
I hope you are brave enough to follow your own path, even when it looks different from everyone else’s. The world will offer many opinions about who you should be. Listen to others, but don’t lose your own voice.
I hope you learn that mistakes are not failures. They are proof that you are trying, growing, and living. Be patient with yourself. Growth takes time.
I hope you stay curious. Ask questions, explore new places, read books, learn from people who are different from you, and never stop discovering how amazing the world can be.
Most of all, I hope you are kind—to others and to yourself. Life can be difficult at times, and kindness is one of the most powerful gifts a person can give.
If you ever feel lost, remember that you do not have to have all the answers. Even adults are still learning every day. I certainly am.
The truth is, writing this letter isn’t only about you. It’s also about the person I hope to become. Thinking about a future child reminds me of the values that matter most: love, courage, compassion, and hope.
And if we never meet, that’s okay too. The thought of you has already inspired me to reflect on what truly matters in life.
Wherever the future leads, I wish you a life full of happiness, meaningful friendships, exciting adventures, and the confidence to be exactly who you are.
With all my love,
Your Future Mom
I smiled at the thought of spoiling them and then lovingly sending them home for the sugar rush aftermath—it sounds like you’ve embraced both the joy and fun of being part of their lives.
This is such a powerful and loving message. The way you want your future children to know their worth and never feel the need to make themselves smaller to belong speaks volumes about your heart.
