Keri:

Absolutely not. So many people asked me that when we were going through the fertility, realizing that we couldn’t conceive a child, there were so many women that came up to me that just said, “I don’t know how you are okay with all of this. I would just be an emotional wreck, all upset, how are you happy about this?” and I said well, I wasn’t devastated by the, by not being able to have children because I saw that there is another option, and I know deep down in my heart that there is a child out there for me and for our family, and the way to get there may not be through conceiving a child, it would be through adoption, and it was.

And when I look at the two children that I have now, it never even crosses my mind. I don’t even think about getting pregnant or wanting to be pregnant or anything like that, that these are my children and we’d like to have more, and if it’s through adoption or through conceiving it’s totally fine with us either way. I was curious to see what my body would look like being pregnant, but now that I have two kids and I am still the size that I am, I am grateful for that.

Thank you so much, Keri, for adopting children who need a home.

Regardless of whether they share your gene pool, they are your children. My children are all my biological kids but like you, it doesn't actually occur to me that they have half my DNA (or not) because it just doesn't matter enough to spend time thinking about it.

Good luck if you adopt more, or do it biologically.
