For those who have both is d love really the same. The love I have for my kids I can't imagine having such measure for other kids even nephews and nieces, yet I love them too.
So when a couple adopts and then later have theirs, are they capable of showing equal love?.If so, I respect them.

its allowed

It's more easier when there is no biological child after the adoption but seems we have not fully come to term with this issue in Africa even as some family members may see that child as not a full member/being part of the family.

Some parents even love their biological children differently not to mention an adopted child. You can't deduct the human factor.



I do believe it is possible though to love an adopted child as you would your biological but I also believe the important thing is LOVING the child at all .

So I'm not mean by saying I find it difficult to love both the same way. Good to know.

It is very possible. Children are children. Families are not always biological.

Only when u see them as ur own

Are the adopted ones not born of a woman?

To me every child deserves same love
From experience, love my nieces n nephews and I even get the mummy 1 title

Eeerrrmmmm,, I don't think it's possible. You'll love the child, yes! but not like you'll love your biological child. There's this thing attached to knowing "this child is the fruit of my loins".

For me, absolutely. The minute a child becomes mine either through adoption or birth he/she is mine. I would love the child just as much, Infact the only thing I'll have to watch is that I don't over compensate for the struggles the adopted child may have had earlier by over pampering the child as opposed to my biological ones.
Re: Is It Possible To Love An Adopted Child Like A Biological One by Nobody: 6:37pm On Mar 22, 2015
Yes.
I have seen a situation where a gal I usually refer to as the first born of one couple is actually a house help.
So if one can treat a house help like her child, how much more ur adopted child.

And yes,some house helps are treated like biological children.
