I thought at length about finding an appropriate title for this blog, even if I’m sure it doesn’t look that way. I wanted something fitting, and couldn’t find something else, because it’s simply what I am.
However, I have to comment on it. My kids might be adopted twins, but it doesn’t by any means define what they are.
About their adoption – that’s just how they joined our family. They will grow up knowing their story of course, but you’ll never hear me talk about them as being my ‘adopted kids’. They’re just my kids, period. We just happened to adopt them.
About the ‘twins’ part – you’ll probably never hear me refer to them as ‘the twins’ either. Being a twin myself, I hated it. The way I see it, they’re just very different people who happened to be conceived at the same time. I hope they manage to have a good sense of individuality as they grow up.
I like your blog. I’m a mama of twins too (7 months) and I rarely call them twins. Yours are sweet. I saw your posts on twins mag board. I never post but I’m always looking for advice.
