I am adopted and have congenital hydrocephalus

[jennifer]

My adoptive parents and brothers are wonderful, I was adopted the day I was born, weighed 2lbs 2oz and had congenital hydrocephalus, and now I am 22 with mild mental disability, have 2 wonderful brothers, who treat me just like their sister.

[joy]

That's wonderful. I'm so happy for you and your family. Children are such a blessing, no matter what, ever, in my opinion. If I add up the joy side and the sad side, the joys outweigh everytime. May it always be so for us all. ;)

I agree with the post below me, actually,
YOU ARE just as special as special can be!

I too am adopted and so is my sister (we are
unrelated to each other), but our adoptive
parents are our real parents as far as we
are concerned, and my little sissy is my real
sister just as much as I am her big sister!
Even though our dad is deceased... and
the relatives and everyone else treated us
just as if we were natural - and to them, we
were "natural" and never once considered us
"adopted" or "different" - in spite to the fact
I have physical problems, and my lil' sister has
foot problems.

Love is what makes the family, and YOU ARE
PART OF IT!

I am so glad when it works out for you.

We adopted alsao and now that they are grown, the younger can't stand the older. It is all over jealous type things.
Christmas last year was horrible. Hubby said we should just go out to eat this year. I said no, I intend to have food at my house, for whoever feels like taking part in our family. We have one grand daughter that deserves better than that. And when they ask, what are we doing, I shall say, having a meal for the family. If you don't want to come, that's fine.

Life's to short for all this disagreeing stuff. I've asked what is wrong and it all boils down to jealous crap. That's it, just crappy stuff.

I hope most work out better than ours has. I would't have been happy without kids in my life at all. But it sure isn't plesant to not ever be able to get togewther and share holiday and such without bickering going on. They'll be expecting something after we're gone as well, don't you know it.
