My sister.
About 18 years ago my mum and step-father adopted a little baby girl from Sri Lanka. She has brought joy and happiness into our lives from the day she arrived and she's been spoilt silly. However.....

You could not find a more amiable, cheerful, (apart from time-of-the-month tears), hard-working girl. She's never demanded anything and thus we've always been happy to give her what we want. My step-dad bought her a brand new shiny soft top fancy car for when she passed her test, although not fully realising the cost the insurance would be, (even though we kept telling him).He got rid of it when he got the insurance quotes in and bought a small Citroen and she didn't complain even though she had her heart set on the fancy car.

She's just started University and is loving it and as she is not naturally clever, she's had to work hard to get a place. All her University bills are paid and she gets an allowance each week.

It would have been so easy for her to turn into one of those spoilt brats who think they should get what they want and it would have been our fault for making her that way.

So a bit Huzza for my sister who had a hell of a lot more than I ever did as a child and I don't begrudge her any of it.

for you sister!

I knew somebody who was adopted from India, nicer, smarter guy you would never meet. Madonna is on to something after all.
