How many kids do you have?

This is an easy question but so hard to answer. Most of the time I answer 2 with out even thinking. I mean I really do have two but only raise one. Sometimes I explain it but that gets tough sometimes. Or if I don't and people are like wow you do all that and have a two year old and I feel bad because then I feel the need to tell them I don't raise him, but I just leave it be and they think I am super woman. Bad I know but I just can't bring my self to say I only have one, even after all this time.

I had no idea that would be such a difficult question to answer! I suppose it's one of those unintended consequenses of adoption. I suppose in reality you have 3 kids. Two that you're parenting...

I think 3 seems the right answer to me too. You may not be raising your son but you'll always have a mother's bond with him and technically your brother isn't your child but you ARE parenting him now.
