Is that your real child?
Yes. I'm a real parent raising a real child.
Are your kids from another country?
We're a family, so we live together.
Your kids look so different. Which one is yours?
They're siblings, and they're both my kids.
What a shame you can't have kids of your own.
I'm so grateful that life made this child mine.
How much did he cost?
It's always expensive to be a parent, isn't it?
He's so lucky to have been adopted.
We're the fortunate ones to be his parents.
