Like I always tell people (and this is one of my quotes!)...DNA alone does not make you a parent,loving your children above and beyond anything and anyone in this world is what makes you a parent! We can all see how much you adore and cherish Charlie. Family is not so cut and dry anymore...whether you give life to your child or would GIVE YOUR life for your child is all the same in my eyes. I love all of you guys like my own biological family and consider you all as such(even though I'm not as close as I would like to be!). It will be so beautiful to watch your family grow. All of your children will always be adored especially since we love you guys all so much;)! Don't worry Mommy..everything we will be as it's meant to be. The people that could have anything slightly negative to say about your new family dynamic can take a flying leap off a burning building. We're sending all our love your way and can't wait to see you guys again! Love you all....Telly and Scotty 2 hottie!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488344640186055079.post-74141909225801425242007-12-13T19:29:00.000-05:002007-12-13T19:29:00.000-05:00Congratulations!

We are in the process of adopting a little one from Ethiopia. They are all wonderful and I wouldn't have it any other way. I couldn't even imagine it any other way. We are the family we are supposed to be. You will be the family you are meant to be. So enjoy your pregnancy. Do not feel guilty. Charlie gets to be a big brother!!!!

Did you notice that whenever the media talked about Katie Holmes being pg with Tom Cruise's baby, they would say it was his "first child." ANd then add, "he has 2 adopted children with Nicole Kidman." That used to enrage me! Like those kids didn't count or something. I bet they really liked reading that.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05253129297086610723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488344640186055079.post-3861099348180487922007-12-13T17:21:00.000-05:002007-12-13T17:21:00.000-05:00That is awesome news!!

I witnessed you go through the process of adoption where you fell in love with your first child. Now I will get to enjoy sharing your joy as you fall in love with your second.<BR/><BR/>Your announcement was beautifully written, SO Heather and very heartfelt without an ounce of defensiveness. Just pure love and a strong sense to protect your child from harm. Any mother would do the same...<BR/><BR/>I really think Mrs. Baker said it best: "Families are made through love....the rest is just technicalities!"<BR/><BR/>So, technically speaking:<BR/><BR/>CONGRATULATIONS Adam, Heather and Charlie!<BR/><BR/>Laura :)<BR/>www.nosmallfeat.typepad.com<BR/><BR/>PS: You are always going to be in da club.

Such a crappy issue...I hate telling people that I did not come to adoption through infertility, because it seems so beside the point....but I also really hate that assumption that a pregnancy happened because we adopted and/or that a pregnancy is what we really wanted. What does that attitude do for the children? For both the bio and adopted children it sucks to be getting that message.

People who comment like that,comment everything that doesn´t fit in their small conception of the world...(they dont understand that adoption is not a second choice). The love for ones kids is so big that it hurts if someone questions any part. I will be like you a mother with children coming to the family each way and I think its wonderful.Each child is so unique! <BR/> <BR/>I love the comments here (like the one about the tags). Your friends really know what matters and they are also besides warm and loving, funny. It will be exiting to follow you blog. Love in your family is surely nice to read about! Charlie is so blessed becoming a big brother, congratulations to him too!<BR/>I´m waiting for our fourth (this will be adopted) so I share your experience of waiting for a new familymember!
