Hi Bob . . it's your My Space friend replying here . . .i really think there is a conspiracy in the non-adoptee world . . . they are out to get us! No, seriosly. I think the problem is a total non-understanding of what it feels like to have no roots - to have no knowledge. They cannot fathom it and if they are empathetic enough to slip into our shoes, they still listen to what they see and hear in the media . . the way things are slanted, sensationalized . . instead of looking at this as a civil and human rights issue.
Nobody questioned Alex Haley's right to search . . .(or did they?) He is my hero . . Roots was one of my favorite show growing up and it gave the general public an awareness of how geneology is a desire on every human being's part - not just those people who did not make the choice to be separated from their roots.
If a non-adoptee could live in our world for a week, they would get it. Really, that is what it would take.
