I believe that my kids are the children that were meant for me. Whether I'd had them biologically or not, they would be the same soul with different outward appearances. Having said that, my husband and I joke alot about how lucky we are that all 6 of our children are absolutely gorgeous. I remember in our training we were all asked how we would feel if our child ended up being learning disabled or much smaller than the average in your family, or if they happened to be "homely". I remember thinking at the time, that nobody thinks that their child is ugly. The funny thing is that my oldest two children (sibs) are a different colour than me or my husband, but there are certain times that they look just like my sister did when she was little, especially when they were little and in the tub with wet hair. I also think that your children will take on your values and principals, which are more important than your looks. (Although I do like to claim that their dimples and love of music comes from me!) Everybody says that my youngest adopted daughter looks just like me and my husband and they all assume she is our bio child. I also have to say (and I hear it every day) that my kids are exceptionally beautiful, and we certainly couldn't have made beauty like that ourselves!
