I am an adoptive mom and a stepmom. I have been since 2003, however I don't think I really realized it until a few weeks ago. I stood at a football practice with other moms & was given the compliment that I don't act like a stepmom. At the time I thought it was an odd comment & didn't really consider it. Later that night I talked to my mom & recounted the conversation with her. As I repeated the conversation I came to realize that I am Mom to all my kids. I am not adoptive mom or stepmom; I am just mom. They didn't grow in my womb for 9 months; they grew in my heart for much longer. God placed my two sons and daughter in my heart when he placed them in their mothers' wombs. God had a wonderful plan for my children long before I even knew it. I don't act like an adoptive or stepmom, because blood doesn't make me a mom, love does.
