And why the heck not? We promised to love and cherish her, and made her part of our family. They're pretty much INLAWS now, just like when you get married and promise to love and cherish your partner's family.<BR/><BR/>And of course! Because they're part of the person you love!!Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05181924375187173030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-71831732575697918972008-12-12T14:35:00.000-08:002008-12-12T14:35:00.000-08:00Insightful.

An adult adoptee in my extended family espouses many of these reasons.<BR/><BR/>He thinks we are making a big mistake with our children.<BR/><BR/>Brilliant post, Heather.
