I don't think there is any way around this idea of adoption being "second best." There are few people in the world who would be adoptive parents if it weren't for infertility issues. It's just the way of life. As an adoptive mother, the only thing I can do is stress to others that DS is my son and that I love him the same as my biological DD. No difference whatsoever. He is truly a blessing, just as all children are.
