Prettiestar ...You have said this much better than what I did.
Ray ...I would agree that you are a credit to your parents but
I would not automatically ascribe all of that credit to those people
that adopted you.Maybe some but most certainly not all.
Mallory ...No offense meant but I guess that it is you who are
young and inexperienced.If you are truly happy with your
situation then I am happy for you but there are those of us that
are not.And why should people like me be forced to live with a
totally uncomfortable life just because you and others are still
in your state of youthful bliss.
Mom of 3 ...Babies are very often snatched away from genetic
homes that do have love and enough security to get by.
Sandyy ...Marriage is a CONSENTUAL bond between two mature
adults (in most cases anyway) and does not compare very well
at all with an adoption finalization.A wife is not a sister to her
husband's siblings nor is she a daughter to his parents.That
would be why they refer to it as in-law.
Laura Jane ....I would guess that you are older than Mallory but
still very young.Birthmothers in the time when I was born just
did not have the capabilities of fighting with Social Services that
they do today.And what is so bad about eating tuna out of the
can?The lavish and expensive material comforts that were
provided to me are not those things which are most important
in life.
I am very grateful to my birthmother for carrying me to term and
for giving me a wonderful first family.I am grateful to the
adoptors for trying their best in most cases.I am not at all
grateful to the state for it's unwanted involvement in my life.
Just for clarity's sake I was one of those babies that was snatched away from a mother with no husband.
