We chose adoption because we wanted to bring more children into our family. We already have two bio children, but felt that someone was missing. We now have two little girls that are sisters who have joined our family. We chose adoption because to us it is just one of the many ways to make a family. I have other family members and friends who are adopted. We were just as excited preparing for these children as we were during pregnancy of our others. We know that they belong with us and we love them because family isn't just defined by blood, but also by love, commitment, and joy. Our children came to us through the state as well so it is a closed adoption. My brothers little girls adoption is an open adoption as far as letters and pictures are exchange. I think thats wonderful and healthy for the kids, so their questions are answered, they have their history, and they know from the beginning they were loved by many people. All I can say is that these children are an immense blessing to our family, and our love for them is just as strong as the love for the ones who "look like us." Best Wishes in Your Difficult Decision
