Meet a few adopted children "Having my adoptive family and birth family has helped me stay
open-minded. I grew up in a different kind of family, but for me it's
normal...just like for my best friend who was born to his family -- that's
normal for him. And I've seen all kinds of families -- but for me, this
is just my life, and it's normal." "My birthmom is nice. I get to go to the movies with her, and
I see her on holidays and on my birthday." "I really like baking pies or cookies with my birthmom...and sometimes
we even capture frogs -- or we'll find tadpoles and watch them grow into
frogs." "Adoption is just another part of my life. It doesn't make me
any different. All of my friends think it's so cool that I'm adopted,
and everyone's always asking me about it." "To me, adoption means life. I do think about my birthmother. Every
year, I look up at the stars and hope -- I wish, that she is looking
up at the same moment. If I could say anything to her, it would be 'thank
you.'" |
