I wasnFt quite sure why we were doing this. There were already three kids in my family. Why would my parents want another kid? It wasnFt like they couldnFt have children of their own. It was my motherFs idea. SheFd found out about international adoptions from a lady at work. She thought about it, and that was that. So twev were going to adopt a little girl from China./ppI was flabbergasted! Mad, too. And really upset at my mother. I didnFt want to have someone in my family who wasnFt really a part of my family. I told my mother so, too. She said we wouldnFt be getting the little girl for a year or so, so there would be plenty?Ð
