Yep!

We belong to 2 adoption support groups and have a small playgroup made up of adoptive families. One of the support groups is made up of both domestic and international families, which I like. The other is specific to Guatemalan families (which I like, too).

Honestly I am starting to feel like we need more "biological" friends so my boys don't think everyone was adopted!

But I treasure these relationships for both me and the boys. I feel like most adoptive moms really "get it" and know where I'm coming from. I love that my boys see all kinds of families and see other kids who don't look like their parents.

I would love to have friends who were adopted or from birth family situations, but I don't at the moment. I also wish I had a more racially diverse group of friends, so I'm trying to branch out into other areas. Sometimes all I feel like I do all day is worry if I'm doing "enough" - tying to meet the needs of my kids in every possible way. It's exhausting. I guess that was a tangent. Sorry!
