[quote=Anonymous]I have 2 bio kids, no stepkids. I'll admit, it took me a while to love my second as much as my first. To be cliche about it, I think most people can "grow" as much love as they need to, but it takes a while. Could I love an adopted child as much as my bio kids? I think it would depend on the child, and especially how old the child was when adopted. I'm not sure I could love stepkids as much-- they're already "someone else's"-- but I think I could love them enough! I was adopted as an infant, and though I can't see into my parents' minds or hearts, I [i]never[/i] felt less loved for being adopted. My parents had adopted and bio kids, and (seemingly) loved us the same. I always felt different (but that's another story!), but I [i] never [i] felt less loved by my parents.[/quote]
