I think you'd do a good job, the best you knew how, which I do think would be good.

But does the world REALLY need another RedNeck?

My sister adopted after she and her husband had one child and couldn't have anymore. My family treated her the same as any other kid born to any of us.

If you don't have the support of your family or if they won't accept an adopted child and treat it as one born to you, think very carefully about what you're heading into.

As a second class family member, the love needed to raise a healthy and happy child may be lacking which would mean you either compensate, or over compensate, or struggle with your family for what could well be the rest of your life.

Kudos for going this route if you do.
