enlightening moment

I recently visited my 10 yr old b-son. He is their only child, and mine but I am 6 months pregnant. I asked him how he felt about getting a little sister and he replied, "Am i still an only child?"

and for the first time I saw he is going to struggle with his place in adoption and how to tell people and process it. Just as I have struggled with answering people when they ask if I have kids, " no, yes, well...." He is going to struggle with explaining he has a sibling out there, but is STILL an only child!
It was very enlightening to see first hand how adoption affects everyone involved.
