With having just spent the day with a combination of biological and adopted family, I wanted to share that part of me with my readers. =) Glad to hear that it spoke to so many of you. <3<br /><br />Also, the love that flows from all of you continually BLOWS me away!

We have an open adoption with one birthmom ( I adopted siblings) but not with the other birthmom by her choice, although I have talked with my sons biological brother. <br /><br />I also have seven biological children, giving me a total of ten kids!!Carla Raleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953968611271124689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8842811545737336269.post-33812849813830604462011-07-05T18:59:39.999-05:002011-07-05T18:59:39.999-05:00Oh Rachel, dear...this is beautiful!!

Two of them (Angel-Leah *aka Flea* and Tommy) are siblings and we have an open adoption so they may visit their birth family...its a lot of fun, and even I feel close to their biological family. They are very sweet people.<br />You are so gorgeous, dear...thank you for writing this post. You are such a blessing and I enjoyed reading about this special part of your life.<3 Love you!<3Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02233088809979531456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8842811545737336269.post-6535292329406056712011-07-05T18:55:47.717-05:002011-07-05T18:55:47.717-05:00Great post, Rachel!

I didn't know you were adopted (well, I knew I was your twin SOMEHOW, but this makes more sense. ;D ), and it is incredible that you've stayed in touch with both families! I have many adopted friends who have not been so lucky. It must be great having three families.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
