Here’s our next question!
Our son had uncorrected clubfeet when we adopted him from China last year. I’m getting tired of hearing about how “lucky” he is and how “good” we are for adopting him. Admittedly, his feet would most likely not have been treated in China and life would have been much harder for him, but on the balance we are by far the lucky ones for having him in our lives.
What are your thoughts on the frequent “He’s so lucky” and “You’re so good” discussions that come up from well intentioned strangers and friends? I’m worried he’ll hear it enough he’ll start to believe it and feel he’s got something he needs to live up to.
