I do not distinguish between my biological child and my adopted children when I introduce them, I simply introduce them as my children. However if anyone asks I will say that the hhree younger ones ae all adopted. and people ask quite often when they realiuze the two oldest are in the same grade. People will usually ask if they are twins with a very confused look on thier face, because although their coloring as about the same, he (bio) is ab out 8" taller than she(adopted) is! Besides, my adtped kids are all thrilled to tell people about their adoptions. They are quite proud of it! This may change as they get older, but I hope not. It is just a part of who we are as a family, nothing at all to be ashamed of.
