How many adoptees/foster children have eventually adopted children?

Just wondering if you have, and whether it was private or foster?

I was a foster child after being taken from my biological mother- eventually went to live with my dad (whom I had never met). I always felt grateful that I was taken from her, and when we got the call asking if we could foster my niece, I felt almost like it was what I was 'supposed' to do- that it was meant to be... like I was saved from the system and I wanted to do the same for her (and eventually her sister).

I never set out to adopt, but when presented with it, I couldn't say no to these innocent little girls. We didn't say yes out of pity- we felt like it was the right thing to do and we were so in love with the girls :)

Has anyone else felt that way? Especially someone who was adopted themselves or taken away from a parent and feel good about how their lives have ended up?

    Totally.

    I was determined to be a good foster mom because I was in foster care. I adopted a child that needed a home and needs a lot of tlc.

    Paying it forward, with interest. :D

    and I feel great about it.
