Aren't you glad you have two of your own and two who are adopted?
Earlier in the week, I was having a conversation with a lady I have known for years. She knows our story. She knows our hearts for adoption. She adores my children. But, she seriously asked me if I was glad to have two of my own and two who are adopted. I kindly looked at her and said, "Well, they are all my own." She said, "Well, yeah, you know what I mean." For the sake of just letting it rest, I shook my head. However, the comment has been on my mind ever since.
A better way to say "own" in adoption lingo is to say "biological." I have two biological children and two who were born through adoption.
And, yes, I am grateful to have two biological children and two adopted children. And I feel more than blessed to say they are all mine, all my own.
