My nephew and his wife were told they would probably not be able to have any children. They signed up to be foster parents and got a 3 month boy old whose mother had a drug problem. About 3 weeks later the agency called and asked if they would take a 3day old boy, his mom had mental problems. They fell in love with both boys and proceeded to adopt both. Then the good Lord sent them a biological son to boot! The first two are like twins, althought one is blond haired with blue eyes and his brother has dark skin and dark curly hair. Would you believe they look like the adoptive parents. They have been a part of out family for 5 years now and a blessing. The one with a mentally ill mother is very bright and has no signs of mental problems. The one whose mom was on drugs is smaller and more average in school, but a lover and very happy.
The girl I work with adopted 2 girls 5 years apart from China- there was alot of hidden and last minute expenses and alot of hoops to jump
through. One daughter has some medical and psychiatric problems, but
is a good student . Hope this helps
