do you have friends that are also adoptive parents? what about friends that are birthfamilies or are adopted themselves? what benefits do you think these relationships have for yourself and your child?
i'll start. we have become friends with several adoptive families. we also have a few friends that are adopted themselves. i love having these people in my life bc first and foremost i think it shows my children that adoption is normal and they are not the only ones. i find this especially true for my son from Guatemala....i like that he has friends that are also adopted internationally and look different from their parents. i think these relationships are also neat bc i can call and vent about the process or people's assumptions and these are people that understand. i like having that.
what about you?
