Adoption is a wonderful thing. My younger sister is adopted. It's a fact, but one that's generally forgotten. I remember when she had her first son. His ears stuck out a bit, and I said "oh, he must have gotten that from dad." She looked at me, laughed, and replied "mmm, I don't think so."

i agree. couples who choose to adopt because they cannot have a child of their own aren't necessarily blessed less. i remember when the child was first brought to us. one of the first observations my mom made was to look for features which resembled either my brother or his wife. now, after six months, i have to agree that he is starting to look a lot like my brother and my sister-in-law. yes, the fact of adoption is one that's generally forgotten. :D
