Patti, that is so sad. I think my parent's views and how they presented everything had a very profound effect on my view of adoption. I find I have a very hard time idenitifying with most of the adoptees here because I am very happy about my adoption. Sure I had questions and thoughts on it, if I didn't I wouldn't have searched for my bmom. But never did I ever feel thrown away. I have always held great respect and love for Diane.
Me and my first husband's parents have had a huge split this year. We try to be civil, but I will never understand how they can abandon Scott's three kids. Oh well, their loss.
Hope you had a great Halloween. I'll keep you in my thoughts for reunion.
