I worry about the children artificially conceived and adopted with no history. It must be hard for them.
We adopted our son and he is as much family to my grandmother as I am. He is endowed with my heritage and my husband's heritage and he is a part of both families right down to the core. My son is going to be 50 soon and he knows who he belongs to and the stories from my parents and the stories from my husband's parents and he knows who he is. His history is us. Edie
