Adopting

It's amazing what adoption does to a family. For me, I never, ever think of my little brother and sister being adopted. They are just my siblings. I don't treat them any different than I would if my mom had had them herself.

One of the best things about my parents is that they don't play favorite. They love us all the same and that includes my adopted brother and sister. When Sports Dude and Miss Bossy were born, they went to the hospital and met them and they fell in love with their new babies. Just like they did when they saw Bob and I for the first time.

I love adoption because it gives a family with no hope of their own baby, a chance to have one. And it gives a baby or child a chance for a family.

Adoption is wonderful.

'Jesus said to him, " 'You shall love the Lord you God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment and the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ' " Matthew 22:37-39
