[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids are all your OWN - some came to you through birth and some through adoption.[/quote] +100000 I don't think about my children as my adopted children. They are my children and adoption is how they joined our family.[/quote] +1 -- Our 2 oldest were born into our family and we adopted our youngest. They're all "natural". They're all "our own". DH and I are their "real parents", although our youngest also has birth parents. There's no formula for a happy family and, Tolstoy to the contrary, not all happy families are alike. Whether your kids were born into your family or were adopted, once you become a parent very little is within your control. You can only see your children as gifts from God whom you love and nurture and respect as individuals, each one precious and blessed. [/quote]
