Well, DD11 made it into Science Olympiad as well so we are good to go on that. Whew! Luckily they choose very different clubs for the most part, but S.O. is one they both like.
I think DD will find herself closer to the new friends as time goes by, as some said. Isn't it just hard to see one's kids sad though? DD11 is much more social and so doesn't struggle as much with the friend issue.
Love to hear about "Irish twins". I think I may have heard that term before. Here we say "virtual twins". Anyway, I have let people know the girls were adopted and that stops the "flunking" idea. That won't work for my friend - her kids are 2 years apart and the younger has caught up with the elder brother. She is really having to balance the rivalry.
