the second part of this quote makes me want to remind everyone that adopted children are their parents' children in every sense except for biology. I just don't think that "She was adopted too" should need to be a qualifier. She is Cataholic's niece. Period.
That is so VERY true!! Our "waiting period" felt just like a pregnancy. The day our children "arrived" is a 2nd "birthday" for them. In fact, Indra had her 15th Belgian Birthday yesterday( you could call it a "gotcha" day too), as she arrived in our family 15 years ago . Our kids LOVE their 2nd birthday, as it also involves extra pressies
