Hi guys!
Wow, I'm so happy to see my message has had a positive effect on others! Sunshine, I'm sure your three sons will love you exactly as a birth parent (I too hate those categories "birth parent", "adoptive parent" etc), if not more. I find myself so grateful towards my parents because i understand how much love they have for me and my adoptive brother.
They so badly wanted a child and they took the time, patience, stress and love to wait for children to be given to them. I think that this has formed such a strong love, both from them to me, and me to them that we have a closeness that most people envy.
Give your children the honesty they deserve, and the special love of a mother, let them know how much they mean to you and they could never, ever resent you in the slightest. I find it unfathomable to think that an adopted child could view their "mummys and daddys" in this way!
