[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - going forward, remember to treat their adopted kids as you would any other children in the family.

Remember, though, that even if physically obvious that these children are not of their DNA, the adoption is their story to tell. Not yours.  [/quote]

So I guess OP should ignore the adopted kids since that’s how her own kids were treated? Funny how that works![/quote]

I'm the one who wrote this bit:

Well, that never crossed my mind, because I am not a vengeful person and acknowledge that we are all imperfect people.  BIL and SIL didn't handle their sorrow particularly well (I understand their pain, but their silence also caused pain) but if they were my family, I'd just move on and welcome them back.

That's what we do in my family. It explains how such radically different people with different world views can always show up for each other without judgment in a crisis.  We aren't so great at the day-to-day (we can be judgy and gossipy within the family) but when it really matters, we show up.
