Making myself clear.
Ok I obviously left some onformation out or no one understood me.
We have thought about adoption for a very long time. Our family is ready to be expanded. I have done the training and am ready and prepared. I never said the child wasn't real. What I said was "Real Parents". Only becuase when my step dad adopted me I used the term your not my REAL dad. Meaning that you don't have control. Which I know I will because I will be that childs REAL parent regardless of who gave birth to them. As for adopting someone close to my sons age....yes, we will have problems. But when isn't there an issue of competivness between siblings? I have 4 sisters and brothers...all adopted....I ALWAYS competed. I was taught though, it's not a matter of whose better or who knows more or who gets more in the end...it's how you show love and support to acknowledge the child w2ants something form you be it love or just flat out attention. I'm not going into this blind. I know what I'm doing...I just wanted some examples of how it was when the child moved into the home. I didn't want it becuase I don't know what to do...I wanted to know just for someone to touch base with.
