I too don't mean to be insensitive, but isn't each of our children biological? Is a pregnancy and birth less painful to think about if it's followed by a relinquishment? Adoption isn't a light topic. Fertility, infertility, bio children, etc., are all part of the adoption journeys of members here. I feel that to censor those very important aspects of many of our lives (and our kids' lives) takes away from an honest and well-rounded view of this community. Furthermore, I can't imagine anyone being able to avoid these realities in day-to-day life. And finally, there are other painful topics that I don't see posters here censoring: death (or survival), cancer, marital breakups (or wedded bliss), etc.

I don't mean to attack the people who put a warning in their subject line. But there have been folks who actually attacked people who did NOT put such a warning in. I just don't think it should be "expected."
