Wow, Melissa, I don't blame you for being hurt. It would be one thing if your friend had said this while you were considering adoption, but what she's saying now is that she doesn't approve of your family. I would think long and hard about continuing the relationship.

Secondly, her premise is fundamentally flawed. Your daughter was in an an orphanage. She had NO family. Children in the US don't live in orphanages. They live in families. They may not be permanent families but they are families.
