It's weird to me that we keep talking about "the kids" as though they are already here, when in fact to us they are mere hypotheticals, without a concrete number, names of their own, or even physical descriptions. It's weirder that somewhere out there in America, "our" kids do in fact already exist and possess all of these attributes and more. They're simply waiting for us to choose to be and be chosen as their parents.
It's a sort of quantum existence; they are here yet not here, and neither we nor they know when or how the matter will be resolved. And yet my faith leads me to believe that even now, God is already pulling the threads of our lives together, weaving them ever closer to the point where they will become intertwined.
