This is for ANY side of the triad.
What 3 things would you want others to know most about adoption?
1- I do not love my child any less because he is adopted
2- I am a REAL mom
3- Adoption is not an "easy way out" We have our own struggles and pain.

1 - Luck has nothing to do with it as in "they are so lucky to have you"... it is struggle and pain on our part to be approved to be parents, to wait to be chosen and there is pain, real pain for all involved in an adoption placement.
2- Adoption is a parenting choice and that the expecting parents have a right to choose how they want their child parented. They may choose to be parents themselves when all is said and done. Or, they may choose adoption.
3 - Adoption is not a second best route for building a family.
