Impossible not to want to hold a baby that adorable! You are a very fortunate man. I would wish you and your family the very best but it looks like you've already got it :wink:
Enjoy every moment. And thanks for letting us share your joy!
How lovely – a little daughter. One of those I never had; just 3 now-grown-up sons, one of whom was adopted at 3 days old. As you no doubt are experiencing Jundo, ‘that don’t make no difference’. I never at any stage considered him less my son than his brothers. However an intriguing fact emerged. This was that although knew his birth mother he had little contact in the early years and yet displayed all her characteristics and temperament - even the way she laughed. That was kind of nice in its’ own way. Another point was that we never hid the fact that he was adopted and he grew up completely comfortable with the situation. We are still Mum and Dad.

Yes, we are quite open about it with our adopted son ... and will be with our daughter, trying to help them understand appropriate to their ages and maturity. You are right ... it makes no difference. Also, if they do take after their birth parents, we are grateful to them for leaving us two such sweet kids.
My wife and I feel that a husband and wife are unrelated strangers who "adopt each other" in falling in love and marrying, thereby making a family. It is no different when children are adopted and make a family.
