[quote=Anonymous]We just adopted internationally and while it is an adjustment with already having a little boy, it has been worth it. We now have a beautiful baby girl added to our family. We have always seen adoption as another way to add to our family--a parallel course, not a substitute. It is a different experience but not a lesser one. It is important not the compare and then despair. You should adopt if you want to add to your family, period. Ultimately, the child should never feel as if they were given a home out of a sense of charity, only love. Not everyone is capable of this, so you must look deeply within yourself and ask the tough questions. The MOST important element is not where you adopt from, but whether you have the strength to endure uncertainly and if you have a very strong marriage. That is utterly essential.[/quote]
