RE: Having children/adoptive children

[Guest guest]

I am resending this since it never got through.

****************************************************

My bestest little brother......ok he is my ONLY little brother (who

is now 35!!!!) is adopted! From the time he walked into our lives at

the age of 2 as a foster child........he was OURS!!!! I was 15 when

he came to us and not once did I ever want to see him go. He did,

infact, leave for a year. Went back to his biological mother for a

year. Unfortunately for all...she was Bi-polar and didn't stay on

her meds. He ended up back in the care program and MUCH to

our delight his Social Worker recognized him from a picture my

Mother had shown her. Needless to say........he came BACK to us and

never left. Eventually we were allowed to adopt him by his

biological mother and he became ours forever. I am sure there are

times in his life where he has questioned the sanity of the courts

to let him go to this crazy family......but we love him and he can't

get away from us NO WAY!!!!!!! LOL Ok...so his sense of humor is

probably sicker then MINE! At one point I got mad at my sister (who

is my natural sister) and told her that I got to CHOOSE who I got

for a brother........with HER I had to take POT LUCK! Thank goodness

we have never stayed angry with each other for long!
