Siblings

Adoption makes people, who do not share blood,
DNA, or genetics a family.
Having adopted two sets of siblings, each of our children
share the genetic qualities and traits of their full sibling.
They also share a bond with their adopted sibling.
One of our challenges has been helping our four children bond
as brothers and sister, while allowing them to maintain that
close relationship with their genetic sibling.
The Big K. and Doodles have always been close.
They love doing things together.  They are constantly wondering
where the other one is if they are apart.
One night, after singing at church, they shared milkshakes and a movie
at the computer.  I loved how cute the two of them looked
all cozied up together.
I loved that they were able to be adopted together and
that they will grow up sharing a bond that only
siblings can share.
