[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an adult adoptee and while I don't have an issue as the evil hag presented as the real mom because I'm an adult, I would just exercise caution with a young adoptee. If you don't have adopted children, then you may not be as sensitive to such an issue, or you probably don't even see an issue.[/quote]

Have you seen the movie?  How is this an issue?  You explain to your child that kidnapping and adoption are vastly different.  Where is the problem?[/quote]

I took DD (who is adopted)  to see this movie when she was 5. She found it troubling. You may think it is easy to see the difference, but you have no idea what parts of the movie an individual adoptee will focus on. I didn't plant any seeds of doubt in her head. I was blindsided by the adoption overtones as I often am in thee movies ("Despicable Me for example). Dd was the one who saw an adoption link, and it upset and confused her.
But we all get that you think you know everything about how other people's children will react. Enough already from you. Move on.[/quote]
