Another perspective of our family as we anticipate the referral of our daughters.
Those confusing, yet powerfully LOADED words,what may seem to some as semantics. Real, biological, natural, adopted, own, you get the picture.
Natural Child: Any child who is not artificial.
Real Parent: Any parent who is not imaginary.
Your Own Child: Any child who is not someone else's child.
...Adopted Child: A natural child, with a real parent, who is all my own.
