Both me and my husband have Bipolar, Alcoholism, Chronic Depression and other psychiatric disorders in our families so we decided not to continue passing the genes along and adopt instead. Everybody say that our daughter looks just like me (we've adopted her from Brazil) and my best friend hates it because she had a biological one who doesn't look a thing like the parents (she came out a real mix between the two!), but next I plan on adopting an Asian child so let's see how that goes...Lily Millernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137229307000660233.post-26190928470345265492010-07-28T07:04:08.171-07:002010-07-28T07:04:08.171-07:00Jen I get exactly what you mean.

She'll have her own issues (she's a long, long baby with very tall - but gorgeous - birthparents). But tall beats the heck out what I looked like as a teen. I never got the "my kid must look something like me" obsession - like I'm so damn spectacular! Why can't she look like herself?Katenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137229307000660233.post-51462424665982941962010-07-28T06:20:23.412-07:002010-07-28T06:20:23.412-07:00I really like this post.
