Families are people who love each other, want the best for each, and will do anything for each other. <BR/><BR/>Your children, though they may fight, argue, and in general bug the hell out of each other, will always be brother and sister.<BR/><BR/>Here from NCLM.Marahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874947894564584023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-58763379836466067452008-06-17T10:22:00.000-07:002008-06-17T10:22:00.000-07:00My brothers are not by blood but make no mistake.....My brothers are not by blood but make no mistake...

Even though I am in the process of adopting and have two "steps" (hate that word too), I know I will say things that may not see sensitive enough, my word is being defensive and sometimes my words are more defending than being loving, kind, politically correct. I'm imperfect.<BR/>It is a learning curve even for me.<BR/><BR/>Alyson LID 01/27/06 (IA China)<BR/>NCLM #158Alyson and Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09152315459410231214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-15273952366645148902008-06-16T16:48:00.000-07:002008-06-16T16:48:00.000-07:00i think one of (the many) benefits of adoptive par...i think one of (the many) benefits of adoptive parenthood is that it teaches you early on to look for validation for your family from within itself. that said, it sucks to be invalidated from without..<BR/>i loved this post; it makes me excited for wendell to maybe be a big brother someday too.cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004454829420350212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19220163.post-63587506942900004812008-06-16T11:32:00.000-07:002008-06-16T11:32:00.000-07:00Their connection, and your family is indeed real a...Their connection, and your family is indeed real and beautiful and wonderful.
