[quote=Anonymous]I thought this post would be about your adopted kids "looking" like you physically....  I have three bio kids and they have really distinct personalities. They are so different from me and my husband and between themselves that I am constantly amazed that we are even related :) 
It's funny because they are also very different physically. People joke we have a Benetton family.
I have to say I sometimes wish "I" was more like my fearless son or more like my detailed oriented daughter or could do flips on the trampoline like my youngest and yes I sometimes wish that same fearless kid would get off the skateboard and come inside and read a book by my side because that is my favorite thing in the world. Or that the gymnast would love ballet like I do.
OP maybe you should try to see it the other way around and instead of wishing she was more like you think about the ways you would like to be more like her. But hey I also have a teenager and usually I feel more like killing him than applying this sage advice.
