[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I'm adopted.  It was a total private adoption so my parents had no contact with birth parents at any point.  My birth parents chose my family out of a portfolio book.  I never went through the teenage stage of telling my parents they weren't my real parents.  They are my real parents and I'm incredibly grateful and lucky to have them.  My birth parents gave me up because they were in college and not ready to handle a baby.  Best decision they could have made for me.  Anyways, I'm just sick of how people automatically assume that all adopted kids have issues.  I don't and I never have.  I know my identity, I know who my parents are, and I'm comfortable with everything.  I hate the stigma attached to adopted kids because everyone assumes that they are damaged goods.  GRR...[/quote]

+10000.  Also adopted from a close adoption. I don't have issues and I never once told my parents they weren't my real parents.  I too hate how people assume that all adoptees have issues.  I love my life,  and am such a supporter of adoption that I adopted my own child as well.[/quote]
