I really do thank you for your concern... it just struck me as funny. To answer your question... Yes, I have am adoptee who has been hurt but I'm guessing probably not as much as you have as a birth mother. Through processing my experience, I've become a better person for it and hope you could come to a place of understanding. I'd love to talk with you, not necessarily about my hurts, but how reading an adoptee's story and perspective makes you feel as a birth mom. Thanks so much for your concern, as a birthmom, I really do respect your ability to come to the board and open yourself to the experience of an adoptee. Maybe one day, you will share your story and allow us to help you. Kimberly
