Ripples,
I've read where in the US that adoptees are overrepresented in counseling.
I myself have lost 9 friends to suicide.
8 of them were adoptees.
No telling how many were lost to drinking and drugs.
it is great cause for concern if you ask me.
It's my birthday today, so I am getting hit smack in the face with being grateful for life. And I am. And from some I get: "you should be grateful you were adopted and not aborted."
Tuff day.
! Shouldn't we all be grateful we are alive, that we weren't aborted???? even the non-adopted????
what kind of stupid question is that LOL
Certainly I want to celebrate life today.
I'm lovin life.
But I can't imagine anyone would really expect me to celebrate my birth or my birth event. To celebrate the loss of my mother, which was intended to be a permanent loss. I'll never understand that.
It was a horrific moment for me and my mother. It feels to me like I am expected to celebrate a funeral. A part of my mother and myself died 47 years ago today.
It's something to be mourned, not celebrated.
So today I celebrate life in grief with a fake smile.
Happy Birthday!
