Life doesn't always turn out perfectly or happy and that's fine. I embrace the chance to talk to my kids about it but that's a lot of loss for kids to process.<br /><br />As for the adoption association, while you might make the association, your children may not. At all. Having said that, as their Mother, you know best. <br /><br />Personally, I would avoid the book and that has nothing to do with adoption (my kids aren't but I am adopted).<br /><br />Your family is beautiful.<br /><br />Besos Sarah<br />Journeys of The ZooJourneys of The Zoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06983303004148331623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626820356307919755.post-40590566182194258672014-11-24T11:47:22.989-08:002014-11-24T11:47:22.989-08:00I feel bad for posting a negative review, but this...I feel bad for posting a negative review, but this was our honest experience. grtlyblesdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386260509307925901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626820356307919755.post-87909256110421050132014-11-24T11:12:09.291-08:002014-11-24T11:12:09.291-08:00Thanks for the insight.
