[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t shop in a catalogue for your child! Most adoptive parents are praying for a healthy child. You are way off base if you think it is like shopping for clothes or home accessories!! [b]I cannot relate for wanting your child to “pass” as biological.[/b] Adopted is not second best.[/quote] Speaking as an adult who is visibly not genetically related to one of my parents, I can tell you that I have been answering questions about that fact since my peers were old enough to realize that I didn’t look like my dad/my last name. It was a mild irritation when I was a teen. Now it’s just amusing to watch other middle aged adults try to figure it out. But anyway, some people may find it to be more than mildly irritating to answer those questions and may want to stave them off. [/quote]
