[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I don't know if this situation has brought my sister peace or more questions. But since I wrote my post, she's found everyone including birth father and it's not a happy story regarding any of them. Surprisingly my sister looks more like my family than any of them.

But this thread has made me anti adoption. [/quote]

Really? Because your sister had a bad experience, you are now anti-adoption? It’s like saying a woman dies from an abortion and now you’re anti-abortion.

People who are adopted usually have unhappy stories surrounding their existence.  That’s why they were placed for adoption.  No one is perfectly happy with a perfect life and puts their kid up for adoption.  There is a reason why.

I am sorry it has gone badly for your sister.  She needs counseling to deal with the aftermath.

Btw, I’m an adoptee and I am in reunion with my birth family, so I speak from experience with the good, the bad, and the ugly. [/quote]

You’re so missing the point.

A woman losing her life to abortion (which is exceedingly rare, when access to medical abortion is available) is not the norm.

Adopted or not... do you think most people actually have an easy family life? Unhappy surroundings are the standard for a lot of people. Being adopted doesn’t hold the standard on this. [/quote]

Yes, many people have difficult family and personal lives but adoption ads another layer to it that you are missing.[/quote]
