Scenario

When extended family doesn't accept your adopted child

My husband's family treats our adoption like we got a discount child and I'm tired of defending our son's place in the family tree.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Others' inability to recognize non-biological family bonds forces constant advocacy for a child's belonging.
