I had a pretty interesting upbringing - I am a Pre-R v. W adoptee - while it's true, she had a choice and COULD have gone out and had an illegal abortion - it just wasn't that easy.

While adoption has played a roll in who I am (how can it not?!) - I don't blame adoption for my parents bad parenting...that allows them a copout in my opinion. Bad parents who cause bad childhoods are just bad parents...

It really has nothing to do with me being adopted - and everything to do with a failing system, crappy attorneys and bad parents. Bad parents happen to everyone...so lets call a spade a spade...really.

Adoption is one portion of my life, it doesn't define who I am. I choose to be better than that...
