Things about an adopted child(from a young age) and their family
When a child is adopted those who are adopting them become Mom and Dad.
The biological parents are referred to by their name or “Biological mom, dad, etc.”.
Some children still have connections to part or all of the biological families.
Yes because of this we have a huge family. (bio mom and her side, bio dad and his side, adopted family)
No it is not always fun and games to have this many families.
Yes it neat getting to be the big, little, and middle child. (Big on bio mom, second on bio dad, little one in adoptive family)
Being adopted is an amazing experience for most children. I was adopted at birth because my biological mother was young and could not afford to keep me. My biological father was unaware of me until he received the adoption paperwork to sign when I was two years old. I have had my ups and down when it comes to contact with them. It is a growing progress to be able to connect to them. I have met my biological dad side of the family (well part of them) and they even were able to attend my high school graduation. I am one of those unique children whose adoptive family is all children who come from different backgrounds and families.
