I am thinking long and hard about what a number of adopted people have been sharing.  Firstly, I thank you for your honesty and courage.  I took a break reading to go down and hug one of my adopted kids, and tell how much I love him (and make him go to sleep-it's so late!)  I will be thinking about what you all have said for a long time.  You really touched my heart.

My DH's parents treat our adopted ones like sub-humans.  They treat DH the worst of his sibs, and use the adoptions as one of their excuses.  These are people with multiple advanced degrees and a beautiful lifestyle.

I am seriously thinking of cutting off all contact with these people.  I didn't want my kids to not have grandparents, but now I am very close to telling them to F off.

The MIL has taken DD off with her bio grandchildren and bought nice dresses for family events we were not invited to, for example. (not a very good one to illustrate the type of common slights and petty cruelties)
They have been generous on occasion, for which I am very grateful.

The thought of making our adopted children feel less the way so many people have described is hideous.  Should I just cut off the already limited contact with their so-called grandparents?

What do you all think [/quote]
