Hi! I can't say I'm in denial remember the old saying:" out of sight out of mind". I have met my bioparents (they are nice people) but I could see that the opportunities that I've had with my afamily I would not have had with the bios. It is what it is! Anyway, what's wrong with not feeling a connection with people you are related to but don't know? My hubby has met plenty members of his family that he has no connection with, why isn't it the same for biomoms and their child?

Remember we have a history with our aparents, even in open adoptions the bparents aren't, I believe, considered by the child, their 24/7 parents. They are able to form a relationship with the bchild but they aren't "mom", "dad" or "parent" ( on the same level as the aparents). Why is it that when an adoptee says my amom is my mom and I'm happy with my life they are in denial?
