Brad and Angelina took Shiloh out for a walk in NYC… Wonder where the other kids are?? I wonder if it’s weird for them when it’s just the two of them and the baby they created… I hope I don’t get blasted for saying this, but there has to be some sort of deeper emotional connection to a baby that is biologically yours, although Angelina has tried to overcompensate for that by saying her adopted kids need her more…

1The love i feel for my kids is all equally deep and profound. But what happens when you have multiple kids is you love them differently because they are different people not because there is or not a biological connection. My non-biological daughter came home when she was 2 days old..the only thing I didnt have with her was the pregnancy and as you get older that kind of stuff becomes a blurr and less important in your memories anyway. I think if you only have one kid, you might always wonder if you would feel differently…but when you have a brood (i have 4)you are just living your life everyday with your kids and that pre-birth history isnt important.

2I agree with you D*ana, there has to be that connection with Shiloh that the others just don’t have. For instance, they tried to hide Shiloh from the world for the longest time….remember when Ange got the other kids? Their faces were on every magazine cover on news stands!

3I think it’s very possible to love an adopted child as much as a biological child. I want to adopt and have more of my “own”. (I have 1 already)

4I agree lizzie. your comment is very offensive dana. we have both biological and adopted children. all are beautiful well adjusted children whom we love equally. my love for my adopted children is immeasurable. i feel just as connected to them as i do with my biological kids.
it is like saying you cannot make an emotional deep cconnection with someone who does not have your dna. its an ignorant observation.

5I have to say any mother who chooses over her kids of who she loves more or which child needs her more is absolutly rediculous.

6I know you only say this because you are ignorant, but I’ll have to admit I lost some of my respect for you Dana.
It’s possible that YOU would’ve felt a deeper emotional bond between your biological children than you adopted children. Which is also why I hope you never consider adoption, to be quite frank… But I certainly don’t agree that this aplies to all of us, or even the majority of us.

8I am so disappointed at your comments,Dana. I really enjoy your site but i have lost a lot of respect for you. You are really ignorant and i know you can say whatever you want it’s your site but i am done with you and your dumb comments.

9I agree with Lizzie. I have two and it’s true. My oldest is 9 and my youngest 4. They are two different people with two different personalities. I’m “closer” to the youngest one but I love them both equally. The oldest one is a daddy’s girl. There is NO SHAME in saying this as we are all human and have our own traits. You will naturally connect more with X than you will with person Q, even if that’s your own child.
Don’t misunderstand me, it’s not that me & my 9 yr old have no relationship – we do. We are very close, but it’s like my 4 yr old understands me a bit more and vice versa.
It’s weird how it just happens!
I think we all should stop judging and criticizing one another. We never know the full gravity of any situation until we’re in it ourselves. I have always wanted to adopt but haven’t yet. I love children – all kinds (mine or not bio mine). I like to think I have enough love in my heart for lots.

10Sorry Dana – but I do not agree with you on this one AT ALL. From a mother of an adoptive child, I love her more than life itself. I would do anything for her – AND I felt that way from the very moment I laid eyes on her!!! I never ever feel as if she is not my own – as far as I am concerned she is MINE in the eyes of God and myself and nothing can change that.
