Some people use the phrase "look-alike-family" to describe certain adoptive families. In our case, it is uncanny how much our children resemble my husband and myself. While we did not request to be matched according to physical characteristics, it has worked out for us. Both of my children have special needs, and it has been one less challenge to have them pegged as 'troubled adoptees' upon first impression. A bonus is my son really resembles his maternal grandmother, who has some wonderful qualities. My daughter's birthmother requested that the agency select a family for her newborn. We were next in line to receive a placement.
