[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher I have contact with many adopted older kids. I think it would help if there was not such a push to proclaim adoption status and look for bio parents. There are plenty of naturally born children who do not know every detail of their parents and ancestors lives … and they are going very well in life. Making it an issue is just that: making it an issue. I’m sure I will get flamed for this. I have had so many students introduced themselves as “Hi I’m Jacob and I’m adopted!” It’s ok but is it really your only identity?[/quote] No flamethrower here. But the easiest way to adopt in the U.S. is to agree to an open adoption where the birth family is often enjoined with the adopted family. As a teacher, don't be surprised if at one point in the future a meeting with a child's parents will encompass multiple adults, to include both adopted/birth parents. [/quote]
