I get what you are saying madnirenee, but for me...I just want to be a regular old mom like anyone else. I don't want to feel "different." Not that I am embarrassed of my kids adoption or that I'm hiding it - not at all but because I no more or less a mom than the person in the regular old mom catagory. When people find out I'm adopted they begin to say things like how lucky my kids are to have me. Or how I have a spot saved in Heaven for me. Like adopting a child is second best or that you it's a chore or you have to be a saint to adopt. I just wanted a family. That's all.

My call me mommy and that is what I want the rest of the world to call me. Just my feelings on the topic.

I too sent them an email yesterday.
