is How do Iintroduce these girls to people?
First, how do I inform our family and
friends? They are really spread out and
none live near us. Is it appropriate to
write a generic letter or should I call
each individual? What do I say when I do
contact them?
Second, what about people we meet for the
first time. It is very obvious because of
mine and my husbands ages that they aren't
our "daughters" in the sense most people would
think, and I want to honest. Do I say these
are the girls we have legal guardianship of?
That sounds sort of cold and unfeeling. I
really want them to feel loved and like part
of the family.
I don't know how much this matters concerning
the question, but we have three children, ages
10, 9 and 7 years who were born into our family.
Thank you for your help. Shannon Scott

When we adopted our daughter, we sent out wonderful birth announcements, they simply said "the wonderful child we adopted " you can buy them just about anywhere, don't worry about what people say, they are in every respect your children, and should be treated as such. their feelings come first, if anyone else has a problem with that, well, it's THEIR problem. good luck
