[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, thanks pp. I was curious if you plan to look at it from the perspective of adoption...or slightly different, since you have also had the bonding experience that comes with pregnancy and birth? Sorry if these seem like odd questions, but I'm just starting to give this option more thought, since adoption seems even more complicated...thank you.[/quote]

15:07 here.  I think maybe I don't understand what you mean about adoption.  I agree with 15:28 that it is a different process, and I like the statement "intentionally created by us to be our children".  My DC2 doesn't have my genes, but she does have DH's genes.  She grew in my uterus, and I gave birth to her.

I think she deserves to know her full genetic history, and we will give that to her to the best of our ability.

I don't love or like one child more than the other - they are both very dear to me, and I don't feel a difference.  I thought DC1 was attached to me as a toddler, but I'm surprised at the strength of DC2's attachment.  It's almost stronger at times.  DC2 doesn't look like me at all, but she exhibits some behaviors that are very much like me and also like members of my family that she doesn't see often.[/quote]
