[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think parents who adopt are second class parents?[/quote]

Of course not - but when you do that the choice you are making is to be a parent and raise a kid as your own.  As a step parent the choice your making is the adult relationship (who may come with kids which aren’t a factor…but it’s not like you date as a way to become a parent to existing kids and you’d be horrified if people recommended dating single parents as an alternative 
to ivf or adoption), and when you adopt you are also the parent with a clear role and rights in regards to the child that you’re choosing to raise.[/quote]

Did it ever occur to you, with your tunnel vision and all, that becoming a step-parent is also a choice?  When you marry a person, you marry the person with all their history and family, including any children.  Of course, idiots like you may not consider a potential spouse's children when weighing such a big decision, but the rest of us certainly would.  I am not a step-parent btw.  I am, however, a person who isn't as myopic and vulgar as you.[/quote]

Why so mean? Another way to respond would be, "Yes, many step parents can and do make the same sacrifices bio parents do."

Your response was vulgar and rude, PP. Truly.[/quote]

I think her response to OP is spot on.  OP needs a quick kick in the seat of the pants.  What a nasty person OP is.  Yikes.[/quote]
