Your own child

Well, I'm just guessing here, but I think the answer they're looking for is the one you've indicated you feel and that is, any child you adopt would be your own. Maybe they're trying to weed out people who might feel differently about an adopted child as opposed to a bio child. In any event, if I were you, I would just answer the question honestly along those lines, that you would in fact consider an adopted child to be in every respect your own and that there would be no difference. I think the answer to the first question is simply, we want children. If there is some specific reason why you did not want to, or could not have, biological children, maybe they're looking for that too. As the mother of one bio, one adopted and one adopted on the way, I counsel you to just slog through the paperwork and don't let it get you riled. Remember, pregancy and adoption are both just delivery systems and each process has its pains. Save all of your emotion for your little one to be, and make it all be positive!
