I am and adoptee and so is my mother-in-law. So I was quite shocked and upset when we told her our plans to adopt and she said "but it's not the same as having a baby of your own!" Not the same?!?! Yes, I'm skipping the whole pregnancy and labor scene but that child will still be mine. I will love him or her with everything I have and do anything I can for him. Just as if he had come from me.
