[lovemy2boys]

I don't necessarily feel the need to be a June Cleaver type "superparent" (ugh - does anyone? lol)...however, my DH and I are more "aware" of our choices/actions as a couple and as a family.

We feel like we owe it to our boys as well as their firstfamilies to really be conscientious of the decisions we make. We were given the opportunity to be parents - our boys' firstfamilies entrusted us with the job of loving and raising their children...of instilling morals, setting examples, and caring for them the way they deserve...

It's not like we'd be doing anything different with our children if they were biological, but because they ARE adopted, we seem to be much more sensitive to the responsibility that we have been given (if that makes any sense).

Although we are in open adoptions, we would feel the same way had we been in closed adoptions.
