I'm writing this post in regards to a statement made on a thread, regarding military families. (I'm asking everyone to not post the original thread as not to flame the person who made the statement. My intentions are only to educate people about the military family.)
I'll paraphrase.... The poster stated, that if they hadn't adopted their child, he would have grown up in a military family moving around a lot with not much money.
I think it's very important to be able to learn about the military family and educate the general public about us. I'd like you to post your involvement with the military, how the military or their families have touched your life, what you've learned about their families, and most importantly, what benefit an adopted child would have by being with a military family.
Military Wife,

I'm the wife of an 18-year active duty military member. We've lived in 4-different countries and have one adopted child and one child, we're in the process of adopting.
I'm very happy that our family has wonderful healthcare completely covered by the military. We've had the opportunity to experience different cultures and cuisine
(my favorite), to which most people would only dream. My children are quite resilient to change and are very accepting of others, having experienced so many different opportunities in their short lives. We are a very close-knit community, that really draws on each other in times of need.
Who's next?
