Thanks for the replies. Our bio-daughter has actually been the one keeping the "adoption option" in the forefront. Every couple of weeks, she asks if her dad and I have "talked about it yet." Now that we're ready to move forward, I know she'll be excited. But it's good advice to make sure she doesn't see it as a fairy tale. We may take her to a multi-cultural celebration at the Pearl S. Buck Foundation to introduce her to Asian culture. She's used to the idea of foreign adoption -- especially from Korea. Good friends of ours and folks from our church have added kids from Korea to their families. I'll keep you all posted on our progress!
