What Extended Family Can Mean To A Child That Was AdoptedBecause my children were adopted at an older age (5, 8 and 11), family has extra special meaning to them, especially extended family. They enjoy meeting second and third cousins because it gives them a sense of connection to a whole other side of their family. They get a feeling of being part of something larger than just our immediate family. My cousin Pat, her two daughters and their daughters came to visit this past week. My children know Pat well but they’ve only met her two daughters once before, and they never met their daughters so this was a really fun visit for them.
