I agree with your statement rapunzel...expectations usually are dangerous to have of anyone. I think what our thread leader is saying here, as am I, is that sometimes adoptees don't feel like they fit into their adoptive family. I am not suggesting that we find our natural families so that we can find a place to fit in. It would be amazing to find that family that we fit into in such a way but for adoptees...(for myself anyway), it likely isn't going to happen b/c of the very nature of adoption. My natural family has been so accepting of me but again, here...I just don't feel like I fit in 100%. There is a huge something missing. And yes, people can be perfectly happy if they chose to create happiness in their lives...no matter what.
