I've loved my oldest son, since over two years before he was born, when I knew we were going to try to adopt and started praying everyday for the well being of the birth mom and of the child who was on his or her way to being my baby.
But he has never looked like the rest of us, brown hair and eyes to our red hair and blue eyes, our family but not resembling us - so it is fun to see him with a sin that we can look at and say, " yes! He looks a lot like you." Although interestingly he actually acts a lot like my birth son did at that age.
Don't you just love how every kid comes in with certain expectations and then blows them right out of the water.
