Our son has been home for almost 2 months now. It's amazing how much he has changed our lives. And I do mean every aspect. When he first came home we were so noble about remembering his birthmother and talking about her among ourselves and even creating stories to integrate her into our bedtime story ritual. It's only been two months and to be honest there are more days then not when my husband and I forget altogether that Langston came to us through adoption. It doesn't help that mere strangers are constantly commenting on how much he looks like me. Which I know is only a coincidence. Side bar: I don't want to ever 'hide' the fact that Langston joined our family via adoption. My husband and I have been very open about it. Sending out adoption notices and so on. At the same time I've also concluded that if you weren't in the inner circle to get the notice, it's really none of your business. Adoption is a private issue not a secret, so everyone (that means the cashier at Costco) doesn't need to know--although the pediatrician does. Anyway, I just wanted to know...doest anyone else have days when you just forget your family was built by adoption? I mean where it's not even a passing thought?

LIke you, I am not ashamed nor embarrassed that our family was built via adoption... But I agree, not everyone needs to know, that is my daughter's right - to share her story as she gets older. She is 2.5, and we are in the process again, and you'll see, as they get older, you have lots of days when you 'forget' how you came together... And it is okay!!! I just said to my DH last night that DD has his toes - he cracked up!! Mega
