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, thank you for clearing this up for me. I think I understand now how you were afraid we were mocking APs. I was confused mainly because when I first posted on this thread, I wasn't aware that the same questions were being asked on the AP forum. I just took the three questions at face value.

I would never participate in a thread where mockery of any side of the triad was taking place. I think most of us are above that kind of nonsense...at least I hope we are.
