19. Not weird at all. Quite a loving feeling, actually.

For me, I think it is healthy to care about my sons siblings even though they are from different women. My son's siblings are important to him so by extension they are important to me. I don't "belong" in those circles, yet I support and encourage his relationships with other family members. My son is biological, but too many women would fall into the trap of allowing their adult drama to negatively effect their child. Same for adoptive parents.

In your case of the adoptee from Mexico it sounds as if the mother relinquished due to poverty. This is something that as progressives we should all be empathetic to. Some from the adoptee rights community advocate for adopting a family in crisis rather than just that family's child. I tend to like that idea, and it sounds as though you are open to the idea too. Not weird at all. Could you maybe sponsor this family here in the states?
