[Bug-n-Bears-Mommy]

I have to agree with the time thing. I think that the perception of adoption has evolved to a level where it will be interesting to see if children placed today will have the anger or resentment of children adopted say 30 years ago. I know I never even KNEW an adopted person growing up. Now it seems to be everywhere. I also know that my MIL has a terrible fear of the open adoption arrangements we have with our birth parents. HER MIL (an adoptive mother herself) thinks it is wonderful. She adopted in the 70's and her children are very resentful and angry that their adoptions were sealed.
