Hi Amy,

I'm an adoptee as well. I think the difference in those that feel resentful and those that are happy (like me) is all in how you were brought up. Just like there are some biological kids that have stinky parents, such is also the case with adoptive kids.

Keeping an open dialogue with your children is important. Adoption is so different than when I was adopted (my mom can't believe how things have changed!) Just use positive words to talk about adoption (like chosen and not "given up"). We took a great class this weekend from our agency that was part of our home study that helped a lot.

Don't worry, honey, you are going to be a great mommy!
