[quote=Anonymous]I don't have any adopted kids, but I was a nanny for 15 years before having my own kids. I was with each family 50-55 hours per week and I cared for: -One set of twins from 6 days told til 6 years old -A child from 6 months until 3.5yo -Another set of twins from their micro premie birth at 26.5 weeks until they were 6yo (was hired on as PP doula and lactation support but then stayed as FT nanny) I loved all those kids SO much. I absolutely poured my heart and soul into them. When I was expecting my own first, I was fully prepared for this mind blowing love that was exponentially grander than my love for my nanny kids and it just....wasn't. My post party hormones made me feel like I was a bad mom for that but once I leveled out I realized that I truly just loved my nanny kids THAT much, as my own. DH and I have talked about adoption many times and my experience makes me fairly confident that I will love an adopted child as much as my own.[/quote]
