[quote=Anonymous]I"m a daughter of a mom who as adopted at age 2. my mom's adoptive brother married a lady who couldn't have children so they adopted a boy. the boy grew up to marry a lady who cannot have children so they also adopted a boy. later in life I came to USA to be an au pair for a family that after their 3rd biological child decided to adopt 3 more children. they're all so different and you can NEVER imagine how it will turn to be. the older one adopted from a asian country came from an orphanage and we had to work with her in several behavioral issues due to the fact that she was never held. she couldn't walk so we found out she is deaf. we took her to the "deaf kids" school the teacher came to tell us she's gifted so know we're working her way up to a "gifted kids" school. can you imagine if she was left in that orphanage? deaf and not walking? she'd be considered a "retarded" and know she'll be a doctor, a scientist... whatever she wants to be!!!! the babies came from foster families in south america and they were just wonderful!!!! very affectionate, well behaved and HAPPY!!! a little trouble we faced with all of them was getting them used to American food. it's a chalenge to work with all the different textures and to get them to give up the "sugar" but besides all ITS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. they taught us A LOT so far and I can't wait for them to grow up to watch the wonderful individuals they'll become. I grew up working as a volunteer in a orphanage and you can't imagine what is like in a place like that. I can't wait to go back home to "pick up" my babies!!! =] [/quote]
