Yes, David nodded toward the pamphlet. "Congratulations," he replied promptly. Now the man seemed REALLY pleased, and since he'd directly held up a paper that said ADOPTION on it, David supposed he could be more forward. "That's... quite an undertaking."

So really, again, congratulations on choosing to become a parent. It certainly wasn't a suitable job for everyone.

Rich? No, Conley wasn't rich. Well off maybe, but more like he worked hard for what he had and didn't splurge willy-nilly on things. So, perhaps it was a good thing that he didn't mention he owned a home in London too. "Thank you," he said earnestly. His excitement and eagerness, surely was evident on his face and in his voice. He only wished Sachin was this excited. In fact, he had the feeling that the young man who had joined him might echo his husband's own reservations. "It is. Raising children isn't easy or for everyone." Pause. "But it's so rewarding. Or that's what everyone says." He's soon find out himself it seemed. He just really didn't want to miss out on this part of life again.

Still, Conley wasn't so entirely wrapped up in his own things to not have noticed the younger man appeared to have something on his mind. He folded up his papers and tucked them all together. "Having a good day?" he asked.
