But to Karma, having a sister with a different mom than her is the most natural thing in the world.

Sooooo true! My son is the same way about his brother - it just IS. Nothing unusual or strange about it. He's four. About a month ago, we were outside playing with the other kids on the block. Somehow a conversation started (amongst the kids, ages 19 months - 6 years) about brothers and sisters and my son (who is 4) mentions that he has 2 sisters and a brother. The kids are arguing with him - they are neighbors, they know who lives here and there's no brother. My son (with his hands on his hips) says "well remember how I told you I was adopted? that's why I have a brother!"
His best friend's response to that??? "Yeah, well I have two mommies!"
And as quickly as it came on, it was gone and the boys morphed back into Power Rangers, lol, and went on playing. If only adults could take cues from the children........
