We have only had our DD for 4 months. People assume she is ours by birth because she looks just like our son looked when he was a baby. I will not introduce her as my adopted D. She is my daughter, just as my son is my son. I think that when parents label kids, it may make them feel like they are not really part of the family. I never want my daughter feeling she is not as special as my son because she was not born to me, and I don't want my son not to feel special because we were "stuck" with him but we chose her.
