[quote=Anonymous]Adoption is not one paradigm with any one genesis or outcome. Not all birtmothers were sad to give up their kids, some were, some had a little of both emotions. Not all children were deprived of contact, or deprived of anything.  Not all adoptees came from impoverished situations and were then adopted into a better life. Adoptees are not prone to any more depression than others. They can be prone to depression,  addiction, and disease just like everyone, and yes, some can inherit these tendencies, but it is not because they were adopted. No one can speak for all adoptees with any broad stroke- and that includes what their rights are, what is expected or not expected of them, or what rights the birth mother has, or even the adoptive  parents.

Paperwork, custom, and laws have been replaced by different social mores and DNA tests. The rules have all changed and information attainment has been turned on its head. Enough making statements and mandates about the adopted person. It is ridiculous to continue to do it,despite  endless attempts on DCUM to do so. Just stop.[/quote]
