I am in the very long and difficult process of adopting my sister's daughter. She is 2 years old and has lived with me for the past 4 months as my daughter rather than my neice. She sees her bmom every few weeks minimum and now calls her Mama (her name)...she calls me mommy. I have been with her almost constantly since birth and we have a very deep bond, but I feel more and more afraid of failing her as I read the postings on this website. Are there any adopptees with a similar background that could give me some insight on the dos and don'ts of kinship adoption from the adopted child's perspective? This baby is so precious to me, and I want to make this very serious area of her life as painless as possible.
