I'm looking for input on what is probably a common situation. Our 1st child is adopted and now my wife is pregnant! I'm a little stumped at how this might all play out as our family grows. Things are wierd enough in our family as it is. Our adopted daughter is really our grand-niece so her aunt is really her grandmother, her cousin is really her uncle, and her other cousin is really her bio-dad. No, that isn't "Dueling Banjos" that you hear and we aren't from the deep south! Maybe I'm just thinking too much...

I'm sure it will play out much like when the second child is born in any situation. My daughters are 10 years and 2 weeks apart. When I told my oldest daughter "Angel" that "Princess" was on her way, she cried. She did not want me to have another baby. It had been just her and I for nearly 10 years, she was the baby of the family and didn't want that to change. But by the time Princess arrived, Angel was very excited and has been the best big sister. As far as the confusing facts in that your adaughter is biologically your grandniece, just let it always be out in the open and I believe you cannot go wrong. The truth is only confusing when it is hidden.
Hugs,
Kim
