True or False: I only have one family
FALSE. Your birth family gave you life and helped to make you who you are. You have special memories with your birth family that you can hold onto forever, and may even be able to continue making new memories with your birth family. Your birth family will always be a part of who you are. Your adoptive family is not a replacement rather an extension or an addition that will help to shape who you will become. You have two families that love you!
