I would be flat-out FURIOUS if my birthparents were happily married, with two older kids they're parenting, and they gave me up for adoption. FURIOUS, rejected and very very hurt. I don't think I'd ever get over it. There's financial aid available these days for people who need it.
On the other hand, even if I found out that this was the case with my adoption (it isn't, I'm more the standard closed-era variety) I'd still love my adoptive parents. I DO love my adoptive parents very very much, I think they're great people and I couldn't have asked for more. My love for them has absolutely nothing to do with the feelings I have about being adopted. The adoptive family and the birth family are like apples and oranges, two totally different things. One can't make up for the hurt the other has caused.
