Again - all of the responses were 100% genuine, I just honestly thought the question was posted as a form of mockery. Totally my mistake (as I have said) but just wanted to clarify - as I have said I learn so much from coming to the birth mothers forums and just reading, but wouldn't be able to do it (for my own emotional welll being) if I thought adoptive parents were made fun of, etc. Hope that clarifies...

Karyn,
I have seen VERY few instances of adoptive parents being mocked, made of fun of, or any of those things on these forums. Sure we discuss let downs and frustrations with our children's adoptive parents, but adoptive parents do the same about us. Just as that should be allowed, so should our conversations.
I'm glad you come here to read. We really aren't out to hurt adoptive parents though. We really just need a place to express our truths.

2-16-2009 I got a promotion, that comes with a raise. Mom and Dad are visiting and we're going to Al's for pie to celebrate.
4-27-2009 Dad surprises me with a Lady Ugly Stick (an awesome fishing rod that is pink) and a 2nd Iowa Light Artillery Battery jacket. I'm a lucky girl!
5-30-2009 Kiddo turns five. It is hard to believe he is that old already, it seems like just yesterday he was being born. I was at peace for the first time on his birthday, what a nice feeling.
6-13&14 2009 A cannon live fire in Casper WY. We got third place and I got to see Devil's Tower for the first time, it was pretty awesome.
7-4-2009 Amelia the kitten comes to live with me and Liz. Talk about jealousy, Liz will adjust though.
