I have two sons which are our natural children, my brother died in an auto accident in the late 1970's, so my wife and I raised his six month old son, eventually adopting him officially. My wife could not have any more children as it would have been medically dangerous for her to do so, and she really wanted a daughter. So after a couple of years of waiting on a list, we adopted a daughter. Cute as a button she was and is. My oldest son is autistic, but runs an online business with my and his mother's help, the next oldest is a CPA specializing in MIS Auditing. My Nephew went into law and bought out my practice when I retired. (I still serve as a consultant when needed), and my daughter is a Pediatrician. All-in-all I'm rather proud of the lot of them.
