My husband and I adopted a daughter from China, who is now in the eighth grade. I guess what we did was considered “trendy” at the time – because there are lots of families around here with adopted children from other countries. It has certainly made our life much more interesting and diverse, and I think our daughter feels very much a part of this heterogeneous community.

Our two sons are adopted –they had the same birth mother, who has become a friend of our family. From when they were very small, we would show them pictures of their “other” mother, and we would frequently talk about her. I think it’s important for adopted children to know their birth mother if possible.
