[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone has to know their child and know what’s appropriate. I’m an adult adoptee. My adoption wasn’t traumatic at all for me and while I can objectively acknowledge there’s a loss of birth family and culture, I myself don’t see it as a loss and instead see how much I’ve gained. But there are other adoptees who feel entirely differently. [/quote] Same here. Also, my sibling and I were both adopted (as infants), and we never celebrated this. We celebrated our birthdays. It honestly would have felt weird to celebrate something like this, like it would emphasize that I was different and not just part of the family. Maybe for people who were older when they were adopted it would have a different resonance. [/quote]
