They are as close to having my own children as you can get without actually having your own children. I have cherished all of my time with them, and also been very glad I could eventually give them back when they were bouncing off the walls or puking their guts out. I have gotten a taste of parenthood and while I know it is something that I would get so much joy from having my own children, I also know it is something I don't have to have to find joy. If that makes sense.
