[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a good friend who was adopted from a third world country (not due to infertility), while her younger brother was born to their parents. He is a wildly successful tall blonde white dude who married young to a wife who stays home to raise their three beautiful kids. My friend went to college, works and functions fine, but she's not white and had some problems related to being adopted by a wealthy white family in a predominately white community. Her parents gave her brother a huge sum of money when he married and bought a home. She rents. Her parents will not help her buy an apartment. Her parents plan her a pittance while her brother will receive the bulk of their estate. 
They WANTED her. They planned to adopt their first child when they married. They raised her. And it's very likely in part due to the fact that she was adopted that her life has not gone quite as perfectly as her brother's. She's not even estranged from the family! She sees her parents regularly. But they're punishing her for not marrying and having children, things that she certainly wanted but did not have the luck of getting.

Sorry, but I think that's pretty messed up. I hope her parents change their mind before they die. [/quote]

This is so sad.

I'm glad my parents loved me even though I wasn't able to have much wanted children. Sadly, they would have hated it had we adopted children. [/quote]
I’m glad my family and parents loves my adopted DC as much as they live the nieces and nephews that share their genes. DH and I intentionally chose adoption over biological because we were interested in raising children but not necessarily interested in mini-mees. [/quote]
