I think that is true, you get used to it and it no longer seems difficult to you. For me if I get to adopt more, I will adopt more limb different kids. You will probably keep adopting SBS kids. We get comfortable with what we know. Every now and then someone will stare at my son and I am thinking what are they looking at, and have to remember that most people have never seen a kid like him before. There are things that are a pain, like when we go to an amusement park and he can't ride the rides because the lap bars don't work on a kid with no lap, or when the lift for the wheelchair breaks or we can't find a parking place or someone parks in the blue lines so we can't open the lift to put him back in the van. But most of the time we just don't think about it. For us he is normal, and dealing with my daughter's legs is normal. I think it's awesome that there are people willing to deal with each type of disability. I don't think I could take on a teen with RAD, but there are those willing to do that. Some people tell me they could not handle my kids, but to me they are easy. I even think that if the right child comes along in a year or so, dh won't be able to say no.
