[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an adoptee, I LOVE this letter! Doing my family tree in 5th grade felt somewhat false despite my love for my family. I was teased just once for being adopted but it was soul crushing. Being adopted does add another layer and is important to acknowledge. [/quote] You just have a more special family tree - include everyone. We get strange looks but we consider birth mom's family our family so we'd just have three parents vs. two. No biggie. Everyone at his school knows he's adopted and it not a big deal. The issue is how the adoptive family handles it and it sounds like your issue is with how your parents handled it as the blog/article writer. She is looking for a news story, couldn't find one so she created an issue for her kids that isn't even an issue right now. She's looking to financially profit from her kids.[/quote]
