[quote=Anonymous]Exactly! It takes a very special type of person to be able to love a child unconditionally that they have no prior "connection" to. Even as a step-parent, if you love your partner typically, you love their child(ren), because they are a part of them which establishes some sort of connection. Step-parents are applauded, adoptive parents and their children are still viewed differently. As someone who has experienced this firsthand, I know all to well that society still has a long way to go when it comes to comprehending what its like to be adopted/adopt. as a child, whenever I was sad/angry/whatever, on more than several occasions, people said "Its because she's adopted, that's why she's like that" Nice right? Adoption is a whole different set of circumstances that not everyone is capable of understanding, it's just one of those circumstances that unless you've lived it you will never get it. [/quote]
