"What about our biological children? How will adoption affect them?"
It's one of the questions I get asked a lot here on my blog.
I'll share my heart with you later.

I don't think you need to explain, the picture does that wonderfully! The love on your son's face, well - that sums it all up.
LOVE it!!!
My adopted children are just as much mine as my bio children - they just took a different route to get here. Once an adoption is complete, the child no longer "is" adopted, they "were" adopted ~ it is finished! They are yours!!
Gorgeous photo!
I pray and hope our bio children are being effected by 7 adoptions. I hope they learn now this life is not about them and all about sharing the gift we have been so freely given - LOVE LOVE LOVE and more LOVE! Yeah its all about LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Love you Adeye!!!

I would live to hear your thoughts on this. I too get ask this all the time. Sometimes, well most times it is in a not nice manner, accusatory. Like my children are suffering for my selfishness.
I have to look at my kids and when my 6yr old comes to me and says she wants to adopt 12 kids just like her brother(with SN) and have 24 kids. I cant help but think this is having a positive effect on them. I even believe that as i sit here along with our son in a hospital room while relatives are taking care of my other babies.
Be blessed

So relevant. Can't wait to hear your thoughts. My 3 biological kids just happened to be standing next to each other in the kitchen the other day. I looked at them and said, "What would it be like if it was only you 3?" "Awful!" they said. "We would hate each other...." Mother smiles a knowing smile!
I think that picture says a lot!
I'm not quite sure I could adequately describe how it affects the bio children except that they grow immensely and love their brothers and sisters so much. It sure gives them a whole different outlook on families!
No words necessary...just look at the picture!
What a sweet picture!
Blessings,

My favorite comment -- which ones are yours? As if they all aren't. Love the picture -- it captures things so well.
I get this question a lot in relation to my children growing up on the mission field. We have four (soon to be five) young children and we are raising money to move overseas longterm. Fellow Christians seem very fearful that living as missionaries will be harmful to our children or that working along side us in an orphanage will be damaging. I remind people that growing up with parents who are embracing God's will is a blessing, not a curse! God knows that my responsibility is to be a keeper of my home. Surely he will not give me a mission that negates that responsibility. I want my children to embrace God's will along with us and to grow a heart that is ready and willing to follow his leading.
My bio children adore Milana and have learned so much about orphans and what their lives are like. They now have such a heart to help those that were left behind. Only good things can come of this. I love, love, love the picture.
that picture really sums it up!!!!
:) yep! Amen!
From what the pocture shows your bio children have gotten nothing but positive and growing experience from their adoptiove sibs :) Children are so much more open-minded that adults and adapt eaisly so I guess that it´s much less trouble for them to adjust to adopted siblings.
I've read the wonderful post you wrote. But I think this photo speaks just as much...
found your site on del.icio.us today and really liked it.. i bookmarked it and will be back to check it out some more later
