How about, "My 3 blonde children will be attending the wedding." The only reason I could think of would be if a child were recently adopted and having difficulty with separation and the parents didn't want to leave him with a babysitter.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14994773112569975040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306665961692751947.post-28264186321911591332007-08-05T11:22:00.000-05:002007-08-05T11:22:00.000-05:00I agree with you; I don't think there needs to be ...I agree with you; I don't think there needs to be any distinguishing between adopted and bio in that case.
