BOOK EXCERPT

Parental Expectations

There are an estimated 385,000 babies born in the world each and every day. Most of us remember the very first moment we were informed that a special delivery was headed our way. Maybe it involved a pregnancy test that turned positive, or maybe it included a phone call that confirmed the exciting news. Some of us planned for a long time and awaited the exciting day when we could bring our newly adopted baby home. The nursery and all the frills were already installed for the newest addition to our family, and we pined for the day when we would hear the word finalized. Perhaps we were the proud grandparents who were awaiting a tiny human to finally spoil and love on relentlessly. Aunts, uncles and all the rest of our loved ones shared in the nail-biting process. Whether we were fostering, adopting or giving birth, whether we were parents, grandparents or close friends, we all knew one thing for sure—we were going to celebrate this new baby. And it was in that moment that the dreams and hopes concerning our children began to flood our hearts.

In various and perhaps random order, we start experimenting with names, listening to how the phonetics roll off our tongues.
