Richard and Karen, a Canada Goose couple, have made their nest in a Missouri parking lot for the last 6 years. Then they happily raise a batch of goslings.
This year after 60 days the eggs still hadn't hatched. Karen and Richard were beginning to understand that they were not going to hatch.
They didn't want to give up, but they knew and were starting to grieve. Then another goose couple was hit by a car, leaving two young orphaned goslings.
It was worth a try. The two goslings were presented to Karen and Richard. They took the goslings in as if they were their own.
It took a day, but they walked away from their failed eggs to happily raise their new babies.

That worked out very well. You have experienced parents whose eggs failed. You have babies who were orphaned. Now you have a happy goose family.
Geese are very good about taking in extra goslings. In this case they replaced their eggs with other goslings. Everyone is happy.
The video of the meeting is beautiful.
