[quote=Anonymous][quote]Adopted kid here. I had a kid tell me when I was in elementary school that I wasn't wanted by my real mom. I said back - Who cares what my birth mom wanted. My real mom wanted me more and worked a lot harder to get me than your mom did to get you. [b]Your mom didn't choose you, she had to take what she got. [/b][i] My mom has always told me that I was a chosen one. I was picked, a gift. I felt special - and I got super lucky too because I had the best mom in the world. I am so glad I was adopted.... You chose your kids out of all the kids in the world. They should feel special for that.[/quote] Adoptive mom here. I am cracking up. I admit to thinking the exact same thing about a kid who was picking on my child and had to bite my tongue lest I said, "I crossed an ocean to get you. Poor Larlo's mom just got STUCK with him." I did not think, ultimately, that was an adult thing to say so I refrained but am glad you voiced it.[/quote]
