It is very hard to explain how you feel about being adopted if you are not an adoptee.....
I am not bitter, twisted or emotionally scarred from being adopted, far from it ,but trying to explain to people why I searched for my birthfamily was beyond many peoples comprehension.
When I was actually reunited, the questions began again.
These days I don't even try to justify myself to people that don't understand. My feelings are mine to feel, I have every right to them and no longer have any need to explain or even attempt to to people that really don't want to listen.
What I have found incredulous over the years is how righteous some people are when it comes to the subject of adoption and surprise! surprise! they are not an adoptee, a birthparent or an adoptive parent
