I am not sure about other adoptive parents but I know myself that I say the same things about our adopted child as I did/do our bio children. For example.... About a month ago the Baby was up all night screaming. I took him to the pedi the next morning and when he came in I said if this baby doesn't have something wrong with him I am putting him out front with a for sale sign! Did I mean it? No. Was it stress relief yes. There have been many times I have said that if this child (who ever it is at the time) keeps this up I am pitching him/her off the back deck! I don't feel any pressure to pretend that it is not just as hard and stressful parenting an adopted child as it is my bio children. I hope that if other adoptive parents feel they are not allowed to vent just know that there are moms out here who let it all out and it doesn't mean we love our babies any less.
