[quote=Anonymous]I know what you mean, OP. I am an adoptive parent too and things like that can really hit where it hurts. But you have to acknowledge that hurt (the adoption counselors always tell us, "Put on your oxygen mask first, and then put on your child's") and then move on to what is best for your child, and it really is best (in most cases) for the child to be able to find and learn as much as they can about their origins. Thing of it: any of us can do any sort of searching for our origins (people are all into genealogy searches, etc.) but when an adopted person is, people can squidgy about it. Like the poster above me said, it does not make you NOT the mom or dad. Google "The declassified adoptee" and other adult adoptees to get their points of view on this.[/quote]
