[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another adopter here.  My daughter is bi-racial. She is now 9 and no issues.  She already  knows she is going to be an actress and she takes singling and dancing lessons as well as acting.

I was part of a large group of single-mom adopters.  Thus far no one has experienced any issues to speak of. The kids we adopted were newborn up to age 8.  My little girl was 3 months. Birth-mom changed her mind when she realized her 4th kid (at age 23) was just too much to handle. Birth-dad wanted nothing to do with it and signed off right away. [/quote]

[b]I don't mean to pick on you, but "adopter" has a bad connotation in the adoptee world (to which I belong).  Adopters are spoken of derisively, and usually is said in the context of an abusive or bad parent.  Of course, feel free to use whatever language you wish, but I just wanted to let you know.[[/b]/quote]

i have never herd of this in the 10 years I have been involved in the adoption world.

1984 has certainly arrived. George Orwell pumping his fist  from the grave. [/quote]

I’m an adoptee and an adoptive parent. Adopter is definitely used in some adoptee circles.[/quote]
