OK, I'll give it up:

Sam
Evan 
Lily

Hit me with your best shot![/quote]

[b]You had Sam and Evan without any difficulty and love them both dearly, but you were determined to have a girl so you put your name in the hat to adopt from China.[b] And then you waited and waited and waited. When you finally got that wonderful referral, Sam was in high school and Evan was in middle school. You had forgotten what it was like to change diapers on very little sleep while also dealing with the bundle of issues that come with international adoptions.[b] Your sweet, Lily, is a fierce and fiery toddler who keeps all of you alternating between adoration and bewilderment.[/b] You now juggle soccer tournaments with play groups and therapy sessions. You can't remember the last time you had sex with your husband and you find yourself forgetting important dates and familiar names. [b]You are parenting a very different child[/b] at a very different stage of life and[b] it all feels out of whack,[/b] but you can't admit that to anyone because you have plastered on a joyful smile while popping in another annoying children's cd.[b]  All will eventually settle down and you will sleep again and Lily will lead a fairly happy life and your boys will be proud of their multicultural family and your husband will be relieved to have you hold his hand again.[/b] [/quote]

Well done.  The kids are closer in age than you thought, but otherwise, you nailed it.  They're now in HS and college.  Lily is quite happy, I think, as are the boys (who are no longer boys, but young men).  Though we are a multicultural family, I'm not sure we think of ourselves that way very often.  Recently we met Evan's roommate's family for the first time and when the mom commented on this, it took me a few minutes to figure out what she was talking about (me: "Oh yeah, Lily's Chinese.")  And, yes, DH and I are happy in our almost-empty nest.  BTW, did you know the dog's name is Ruby?           [/quote]
