Guest guest Posted August 5, 2000 Report Share Posted August 5, 2000 Hi Jana Banana, "I was adopted as an infant" Did you mind being adopted? Did you want to look for your own parents? "and in 1992 adopted 3 children, the 4th in 1996." What was the process like to go though to adopt a child? This is what we would be doing if /when I am well. Although I'd rather go for a kid or twins/family that were older, like 3+ as I know most want to adopt babies so the older kids get stuck in the system. We decided that it better to give the older ones a home. They also know that you are not their natural parents. Has that been an issue for your kids? Do they want to look for their natural parents?"I was worried a bit that the adopted ones would not feel as much mine as the biological ones, but boy oh boy do they ever! When Andy dies, which he will sometime in the next year or so I will grieve for this child just as much as if he had come from my body." Its my belief that no child is "yours" anyhow. You are just the vessel they travel through to get into this world. Yours to raise and love (always) but ultimately they are their own person and will have their own destiny to fulfil. So I am sure that you would grieve as if Andy came from you. You love him. He is your baby. I would feel the same way and totally understand. *hugs* Love A.
