I'll never get to teach my son to shave...

[peacefrog]

because we just found out we're adopting twin girls! We got our referral last Wednesday after a wait of just over a year. So my next overseas trip will likely be to Ethiopia in November to bring them home.

[Mottern Man]

You can teach them, but I wouldn't be in the bathroom at the time. :rofl


Congrats DaDa.

Congratulations BOB!!!!!!! (DAD)

Thanks for sharing this wonderful news!

Best wishes to your whole family :D

Congratulations! It's a wonderful thing you be doing. When I was a very young girl, my parents adopted my youngest brother from Korea. We have a eight year difference between us, but we are still the best of friends. It was one of the most exciting times of my life. He's 31 and he and his wife are expecting their own son in January.
Best Wishes to you, your wife and your new daughters!

Congrats and Much Respect! :signs107

I, along with my church and family, help out orphanages in Haiti. I've seen how small donations go a long way. Adoption is taking it to a whole new level. I applaud you for doing a wonderful thing.

[peacefrog]

Thanks, everyone. We're very excited. And very scared. :)

Congratulations Father. To become a father is a favour and to be a father is an art, best of luck for you and your family.

[qhsdoitall]

Thanks, everyone. We're very excited. And very scared. :)

Congratulations and best wishes Bob. It's OK to be scared. If you weren't then I'd be worried. Let me know if you have a few questions. I've been in your shoes. You done good. Every child needs a loving home.

Don't know why you can't teach them to shave... just show them how to shave you.

I taught all my girls, including my wife, how to shoot. It's kinda the same thing.

I also think you have a humongous heart by adopting these girls.

[Hawkeye5]

Congratulations and welcome to the club. Two of our three children are adopted. They all are a blessing, however, I must warn you that daughters can turn the toughest man to jelly.

Mine certainly tries. She hates it when I dig in. :D

[Hawkeye5]

Ha!!
Wait until you pay for the weddings! :rofl

[johnniegold]

congrats.. and don't worry. You can still convert many of your friends to the enlightened world of wet shaving. I am sure it is gratifying as well. :D

I beg to differ with the mainstream opinion here. Women do the shave job too with the same methods and instruments that we men use, just shave different parts of there bodies. When they are ready you can teach them the same methods you use, just got to use the methods on their legs rather than their face. I know of quite a few women who use their father's double edge razor, brush and soap. I know of two who use straight razors to do the job, although they do not use it on the whole job. They often shave where they can't see, which is not a good thing with a straight. So don't say you will never get to teach the shave job, you adopted daughters will need to learn the technique as well and use the same hardware that you use.

Yes, but most girls will be more comfortable with their mother teaching them how to shave. I know I would never have asked my father.

Ya, by the time they need or want to shave, Dad is pretty out of the picture for grooming related stuff. Usually they're telling their dad what to do. :D

Congratulations on the wonderful news!

I laid out the box of razors on the kitchen table last night to show my daughter. I gave her a brief history on some of them and compared how old they were to some of the people she knew. My wife thought one of the razors looked like what her father had at one time. My daughter was fascinated playing with them. She is eyeing the Gillette Blue Star. :D
