[quote=Anonymous]In literal kid speak, real = grew me in belly. That is what they mean, probably. Maybe you could say "you are right, I didn't grow you myself. That's true." So affirm them. Then work on "The really important part of being a family, of being a mom, though, isn't about how you are born. Being a mom is about loving you, and taking care of you, and tucking you into bed, and always being there for you. You are my real kid and I will always be your mom."[/quote]
