[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were adopted, you grew up with a family, no?  I think you need therapy to deal with your immature anger. Your fantasy will not result in a revamp of the culture, you know that right? [/quote]

I did nothing wrong. I WAS wronged.  Why do you defend these idiots? I grew up without my siblings and cousins, aunts and uncles.[/quote]

You're right that you did nothing wrong. But don't you have siblings and cousins, aunts and uncles from your adopted family? Why are you discounting them?  I'm not defending baptists who shame women for getting pregnant outside of marriage yet being against abortions. I'm just saying you walking into their church as an out-of-town stranger and sharing your story will just not create the change you want - they'll just think you ungrateful for the adoptive family you were given and they'll be sad for you and think you need to pray to Jesus more or something like that.

This is the thing they don't tell you about adoption. You are accepted into your immediate family. But once your parents pass, it’s easy to find yourself out of the club.

Several cousins keep in touch through Facebook. That is about it.[/quote]

What? This happens with even biological families. My uncles and aunts are connected mainly to my parents. The cousins are also connected through the older generation. As the parents die, the bonds between the cousins weaken. In fact, bonds between siblings weaken. My kids are notv close to their uncles, aunts or cousins, even though they get along fine. Once DH and I pass on, I don't think they will be in touch with anyone.  The desire to connect and remain connected comes when you become old and realise that your family is dying off. The younger generation does not feel like this.  This is natural. [/quote]
