[quote=Anonymous]I have an old HS friend I stay in casual contact with on FB who has adopted three children at birth, all from different parents. The thing is, all three look like bio siblings (they are not), and they each look like the parents. If you didn’t know better, they could all pass as biological family. I’m sure she gets told all the time that her kids look so much like her (they DO!)

I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to ask her, but I’m so curious if adoptive parents “choose” their unborn children based on what the parents look like? I have a friend who used donor sperm from two different men who looked very similar (same hair and eye color, ethnicity, height, etc.) There was a whole vetting process, so I’m wondering if it’s something similar to that, or if they just somehow ended up with three separate kids who look like bio siblings, and who also look like the parents.

*I truly hope this doesn’t come across as insensitive! I’m asking here because it’s anonymous, so please don’t take this the wrong way![/quote]
