[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 748716, member: 23706"] My daughter was adopted from a foreign country. We were so excited and happy to meet her and bring her home to her eager family.We loved her so. I was very naive and so was my husband. We thought that if we loved her it would be enough. And although we knew that we could possibly conceive chiildren, it was not going to be easy and we didn't care if we did or not. She was enough. In time we gave birth to three others and did not love them any more than we loved Kay. But Kay felt differently about us than we did her. She was a constant challenge. Often she yelled we were not her parents. We love her. I dont know that we are sorry we have her. But we would not advise others to adopt without reading much about adoption and getting counseling first. There are issues above and beyond parenting a biological child when one adopts. We need to know them first. I think. [/QUOTE]
