[quote=Anonymous]I know several adopted children who perceive themselves to have been abandoned, luckily my child does not share a traumatic "take" on her adoptive status (similar to the previous poster). We have used the term "Gotcha" in relation to the day that we GOT her (versus HAD her). It is literal, and not offensive in our family. No need for DCUM posters to judge how other families---especially families that are thriving---have navigated these issues.[/quote]
