AYRT

Fair enough. I'll admit, that was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction for me. It's also probably partly that people not considering adopted or step family members as 'real' members of the family is a hot button for me. Things like 'there will never be a little me running around' makes me wonder if they would love a child less if it was a carbon copy of the other parent, or even a throwback to previous generations.

I got to watch the wonder in a six-year-old foster child's eyes when I insisted that he was as much family as the blood relatives because he belonged to my great-aunt and uncle, even though we all knew he was being moved to a different family with younger foster parents in a week. It's not something I'll ever forget, and nor do I want to. But I know others don't feel the same, and it makes me sad. And occasionally prone to blinders on the issue.
