[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your relationship now with your adopted family, siblings, parents when they were alive or if they are still alive, and extended cousins,  etc.?

As you are older now,  how have you framed (or reframed, most likely) your life experience? [/quote]

I was born in the early 80's and adopted. I'm still very close with my family ([b]why wouldn't I be?). [/b]I don't understand your second question. [/quote]

:roll: [/quote]

What with the eyeroll? Completely unhelpful. Use your words.[/quote]

A lot of adult adoptees have trauma. I am surprised you’re not aware of that. High suicide rates, too.[/quote]

As do kids who were raised in their bio families.  [/quote]

This sounds like a kind of  "all lives matter" thing with you. This has nothing to do with all kids. This is one population of kids..[/quote]

Actually, it is important to discuss.

Some kids who are placed for adoption are from families who have a genetic/family history of mental health issues/substance abuse so it's not surprising that you see it in the kids as well.  If everything was perfect, they would probably not be placed.[/quote]

Why wouldn't they be placed? In the 50s and 60s, there was literally no idea about any genetic tendencies of anything. Women were forced to relinquish children due to their lack of marital  status.  Many teenagers and women were placed in maternity homes and were highly medicated. There were babies born dependent. [/quote]
