[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm shocked that you didn't think a child who was adopted might have concerns stemming from that? However you illustrate my point regarding the family tree assignment if it happens for you. Perhaps your daughter would feel uncomfortable telling the world you are her bio aunt and her mom. Or perhaps she would be uncomfortable not including (or deciding to include) her bio mom on the tree. Or whatever. Point is, for her, it might not be a happy easy assignment and teachers should recognize that[/quote] Well she's two. And she doesn't talk at all. And I don't think she knows that I'm not her real mother. And yeah, we didn't plan on adopting at all - it was very disjointed and not as if DH and I decided "Let's grow our family through adoption!" So yeah, it hadn't occurred to me. [/quote]
