[quote=Anonymous]Mom via adoption here. One thing not mentioned above but that I would recommend (if you think you are able) is adopting a set of siblings. That is what we did and I noticed over the years that having another person to whom they are biologically related has been very grounding for our kids. While they have certainly had issues related to anger and sadness over abandonment by the bio parents, that sibling connection has been really strong. I also have never spoken negatively about the bio parents, but I try to recognize for my kids that ALL of their feelings about bio family and adoption ---anger, sadness, love, longing---are all valid---and it is possible to hold all of those feelings simultaneously.
