Traci Anderson always knew the family she d one day have would not be grown completely through biology, but that adoption would be intertwined into her family’s story. She admits that when she was a young child herself, she didn’t really understand how it actually happened, but she really loved the idea that a family didn’t have to match. Looking back now, she thinks she just wanted more siblings, since hers were 7 and 9 years older than she was. Plus, she had a friend whose family fostered children and another friend who was adopted, so she said she knew a little bit about what the word adoption meant.
