By adopting A as an aolder child, I got to be able to discuss her issues with her and make REAL progress rather than just attend the symptoms of grief till she could understand it better....

I am glad to have avoided potty training, and sleepless nights and teething...and having them not be able to tell you what hurts when they are sick.

I think being able to communicate instantly is probably my favorite thing. Plus we didn't have to wait to for her to grow up to go do "family stuff" like amusement parks, museums, camping, paly soccer...etc...and she'll remember all of it and enjoyed them way more because she was old enough!
