I agree with everything that you've said. I've had the most amazing life, opportunities, relationships- everything! And I am definately thankful and happy that I was adopted into my family and it scares me to even think that it could have been any other way. Stil... it doesn't mean that I love my birthfamily any less or want to meet them any less. In my opinion, resentment forms as a result of an unhappy life. However, because I've always been so lucky, I could never imagine not respecting the wishes and decision of my birthparents.
I'm in a closed adoption and definately think, that it's been a good thing!! I always knew that I was adopted... but I think it would have been confusing and maybe made me insecure if I'd been exposed to my birthparents at a young age. When I was 15 I was given letters from my birthparents, which helped me a lot. It is terrible not knowing basic things about yourself and your background I think that every child should have access to that... but as for open adoption... I'm not too sure
