It is great, I agree, to have people we can discuss all this with. Not knowing your background or where you come from is scary and something many people do not understand.
They think we should be thankful that someone adopted us, "took us in", as it were....like we will forever be tainted by our illegitimacy.
It boggles my mind that in this day and age, people still think lying to kids and feeling like its the right thing to do.
I would not wish adoption on anyone, and have spent most of my life wishing that abortion had been legal when I was conceived. I do not get how it seems to be a better idea to give a family member away to people you do not know. Anything can happen to a defenseless baby. And people say they give away their children out of love. Whatever.
I am a huge proponent of using birth control. It needs to be available everywhere. On every street corner.
