Awww.... My friends kids I also consider nieces and nephews. Are you unable to have a baby? I've been pregnant 3x, and lost all of em. It sucks. I love babies and children though, being around them helps me see things in a different light. Plus, kids have active imaginations, and I love listening to them play. : - ) : - ). I figure if I can't be a mom, I'll be the best aunt I can be.
