[quote=Anonymous]We’ve recently started the process of adopting, and I’m discouraged by the anti-adoption sentiment I’ve been reading about in various online groups. There’s certainly a lot to be learned from the perspectives of adoptees who have had bad experiences, but does the average adoptee really feel so negatively? Or is it a case of the type of people who write about their adoption not being a representative sample of adoptees? If you are an adult adoptee, or close enough to one to know how they really feel, I’m interested to hear more. The very small number of adoptees I know firsthand seem as happy with their lives as anyone else, but they may not be a representative sample either. Example of what I mean by anti-adoption sentiment- someone shared a photo captioned “adoption is love” and was told that was extremely offensive, that adoption rips a baby from its mother and is basically human trafficking.
