The analogy might not be the best, but I think it is important to hear the sentiment. There are many adoptees who feel out of place in the their adoptive families. For some it is not feeling fully accepted by extended family members, for others it is feeling as though they do not belong with their adoptive parents. I think it is really important to recognise this. It happens today, even in fully open adoptions. Even in adoptions where the adoptive parents are open to discussion.
