Adoption Remorse

I'm writing on the topic of adoption remorse on my Blog. If you get a chance stop by and read the piece that I just posted on it. In my post I said that I didn't think adoptive parents felt as comfortable in expressing remorse or regret about their decision to adopt (when and if such feelings ever do arise) as biological parents who sometimes express regret about becoming parents. I go on to say, however, that biological parents seem to express their feelings through humor and then move on, while adoptive parents don't express such feelings at all. Not because they don't have those feelings, but, maybe because there is a stigma against admitting to them. Anyway, I go on to make a couple of other points in the post. I'd like to know what other people here think. If you're willing to let me quote your responses on the blog, please let me know. I think this is such an important issue that deserves open and honest discussion.
