Then Vladimir drove us up to the mountains to get some air and hang out as three sets of parents with three little ones. It seems as though it is easier to be a parent – and you feel more like one – and you start to worry less about the quirks of your own kid -- with other parents. I guess this is part of why people with kids start making friends with other people with kids. Anyway, an afternoon of good, easy conversation…. and lots of sharing of advice and compliments and stories. Turns out Roberta was herself (domestically) adopted with Catholic Charities’ assistance 47 years ago.
