We all have questions and we all have doubts - I pray that my daughters will understand that all of this is a natural part of growing up, whether one is in their birth family or their adoptive family. God makes families through birth and through adoption, and no matter how our children come into our hearts and lives, they are our children forever. And we will pray for the "first" parents who gave these beautiful children the opportunity for a life beyond the limitations for their circumstances. Thanks for sharing this, I want to read more about this research.
