Amen to that, brother jonny!
Those kids remind me of ours at that age. We have an adopted daughter and son and I dressed them like that too. We were in our 30's when we adopted them and had been married for 14 years at that time. Our daughter is now 19 and our son is a big 17. I can't believe how the time has flown by from when they were just babies. I miss that.
Our daughter is in the process of trying to find her birth parents. I think she is just curious. She called me today and I have given her all the information I have about her adoption which was through an adoption agency. I read her the part of the document that said those documents had been sealed. I think she believes it is going to be easy to get those documents unsealed, but I'm afraid she is going to be disappointed.
The agency told us at the time of the adoption that if when she is of age, they can arange a meeting with her birth parents only if both parties had contacted the agency about wanting the meeting. She asked them today if they had ask about her and they told her they could not tell her that until she had come there and completed the paperwork to instigate a meeting with them. She is going Monday.
I have mixed feelings about this, but I completely understand. I haven't told her Dad about her search because he will be hurt. I have also warned her about the possibility that her actions could complicate there lives because they might not have told their spouses and other children they might have now. She is head strong and is determined, so I am notgoing to interfere. If it makes her feel better, I hope it works out.
