It's interesting how different people react differently. I have a very close friend who ended up needing therapy because she looked just like her mom and just like her big sister. However, she had a different personality but people expected her to be just like her mom and sister (who were a lot alike) She had a totally different personality and totally different interests but found it hard to get people to understand that she was different from her mom and her sister. I actually worry about that with my son who looks like my husband and is a lot like him, I want him to be able to also be an individual and not the clone my in laws keep joking he is. The same with my daughter, though she is adopted she looks so much like me, but she has her own unique personality. Of course I was very open as to age and gender and even special needs, so I am probably a little different than most adopters. If I can talk dh into another child I am thinking about Africa, so of course that child would not be blond like me, LOL. Since getting our son, I have realized that looks are really so unimportant.
